INTERGOVERNMENTAL NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE FOR AN
INTERNATIONAL LEGALLY BINDING INSTRUMENT FOR
IMPLEMENTING INTERNATIONAL ACTION ON
CERTAIN PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

Second session
Nairobi, 25-29 January 1999

Second survey of development assistance activities for capacity-building conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

Note by the Secretariat

At its first session, the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee asked the Secretariat to prepare a description of existing global, regional and bilateral programmes providing technical and financial assistance with regard to the management and elimination of chemicals (UNEP/POPS/INC.1/7, para 62(a)). In response to this request, the Secretariat prepared document UNEP/POPS/INC.2/5. In it reference is made to the "Second OECD survey of development assistance activities for capacity-building" which is now circulated for the information of the Committee in an annex to the present note. This information is provided as submitted by the secretariat of OECD, and has not been formally edited.

SECOND OECD SURVEY
OF DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE ACTIVITIES
FOR CAPACITY BUILDING

This document provides a summary and analysis of the information reported by OECD Member countries concerning the development assistance they provide to developing countries for capacity building in the field of chemicals and pesticides management.

A table containing an overview of the projects reported during both the First Survey (1996) and the Second Survey (1998) is attached.

BACKGROUND

In March 1996 in Canberra, the Intersessional Group (ISG) of the Intergovernmental Forum on Chemical Safety (IFCS) which is responsible for overseeing the implementation of Agenda 21, Chapter 19, invited the OECD to develop an information exchange programme to facilitate co-ordination of capacity building assistance provided by OECD Member countries to developing countries in the field of chemicals/pesticides management. This project would complement activities conducted through the Inter-organisation Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC) to co-ordinate capacity building activities of multi-lateral organisations. In response, the OECD conducted the First Survey of Development Assistance Activities for Capacity Building.

First Survey (1996)

The OECD made the results of the First Survey available at the IFCS II meeting in Ottawa, in February 1997 (document IFCS/FORUM-II/97.10B), to serve as a background for the discussion on Area E of Chapter 19. The survey collected information on 116 assistance projects that 16 Member countries and the European Commission had initiated in developing countries, including those with economies in transition.

In June 1997, the OECD Joint Meeting on chemicals agreed that this surveying activity was worthwhile and should be continued. Delegates suggested that regular updates of the survey should be initiated every two years, with results available for future IFCS/ISG meetings.

Second Survey (1998)

In February 1998, in view of the ISG III meeting, the OECD Secretariat initiated the Second Survey and contacted the Heads of Delegations to the OECD Joint Meeting, as well as all relevant OECD groups, such as those involved in pesticide management, in chemical accidents, etc. Member countries were asked to report on new development assistance projects initiated since the First Survey and to revise 1996 information if necessary.

In order to update their information, countries were requested to complete a reporting form (annex 1). The form was slightly revised since the First Survey; in making the revisions, the OECD Secretariat consulted experts in development assistance and capacity building activities, including the OECD’s Working Party on Development Assistance and the Environment. For each project, countries were to provide a listing of their ministries involved, the collaborating parties (if any), the recipient country(ies), the title of the project and when it was scheduled to begin and end. In addition, countries were asked to describe each project according to a list of terms which referred to both capacity building (e.g., "Development of Legislation/Regulations", "Education / Training / Awareness Raising") and chemicals (e.g. "Testing", "Safe Production, Use, Control of Emissions and Disposal of Toxic Substances") terminologies. Finally, countries were given an option to report additional information including a narrative description of the project, and whether there was monetary funding and/or technical assistance provided.

The data collected during this Second Survey was added to the simple database (using Microsoft Access) created to store the information provided by countries in 1996. Based on the information received in 1996 and 1998, the report in annex 2 has been prepared. As providing all of the information for each project is not feasible, the attached report contains only those items thought to be of most interest: names of donor and recipient country, title and length of project, description of project, and year(s) the project was reported or updated (i.e. ‘1996’, ‘1998’ or ‘1996 (1998)’, the latter indicating that projects already reported in 1996 were updated in 1998 or should be continuing in 1998). Various other reports can be produced using the database, depending on the types of interest. Upon request, more complete information on particular projects can be provided by the OECD Secretariat.

Responses received

As of 15th June 1998, 17 OECD Member countries and the European Commission described 230 projects, among which 114 new ones were reported in 1998. Five additional countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Slovak Republic) indicated that they had not engaged any development assistance activities. The countries that responded to the First and Second Surveys and the number of projects for which they reported are as follows (the first number gives the total number of projects, whereas the second number indicates those reported in 1998): Australia (11/2), Austria (1/1), Belgium (4/1), Canada (28/26), Denmark (50/41), Finland (8/4), France (10/1), Germany (20/10), Japan (6/0), Korea (4/4), the Netherlands (10/10), Norway (11/5), Portugal (4/0), Sweden (15/3), Switzerland (9/0), the United Kingdom (14/2), the United States (18/4) and the European Commission (7/0).

ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION SUBMITTED

A short analysis of the information provided in 1996 and 1998 is given below, in a similar way as what was done for the First Survey.

The range of responses varied widely from country to country; considerable descriptive information was provided for some projects, while little if any were provided for others. In addition, as it was recognised during the First Survey, it is not always easy to identify projects dealing specifically with chemicals and pesticides management. Some countries had indicated that they had had some difficulties in finding chemicals-specific activities and that they had not dared to mention some larger ‘environmental’ projects which however contained a chemical component. Therefore, the Second Survey asked countries to report on all projects that contain a chemicals management part.

Donor and recipient countries

The reporting form first requested information on donor and recipient countries and on possible collaborating parties.

In donor countries the majority of the projects (128) were managed by national agencies/offices for international development/co-operation. Fifty-two other projects were run by ministries/agencies of environment. Most of the remaining projects were managed by ministries/agencies of agriculture, foreign affairs, health, industry, labour or trade; however, these other ministries often worked through their department/section in charge of international development. In a few cases, national institutes (e.g. research, natural resources, water quality) were in charge of the projects.
In recipient countries, the projects were primarily run by the ministries or institutes of agriculture/forestry and environmental protection. In a few cases, universities (e.g. of agriculture) were involved in the projects.

Collaborating parties which jointly administer and/or finance assistance activities were identified for 112 of the projects. Amongst such partners, IOMC organisations, UNDP, the World Bank, or non-governmental organizations (e.g. industry, public-interest organizations) were often mentioned.

Donor countries identified the recipient countries in various ways. For 153 projects, donor countries gave aid to one specific country. For 50 others, a group of countries or simply a geographic area (e.g. Central America, Africa) was reported. In the remaining projects, donor countries indicated that their aid was provided to some "developing countries" within a region or "world-wide". In all, 62 of the projects were aimed at helping African/Middle-East countries, 61 for the Asian/Pacific area, 47 for Central/South America and the Caribbean region, and 46 for Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries.

Types of projects

The next part of the reporting form asked some more specific questions about the projects themselves. In addition to the title, which could provide a general description of the type of project, countries were also asked to describe their projects according to various parameters.

Sector: most of the projects (101) were described as falling within the area of assistance for pesticides management. Forty-three projects were described as chemicals management, and an additional 39 projects fell within both areas. For the remaining 47 projects, no area was identified.

Category: The category most often mentioned to describe projects is by far the one entitled "Education / Training / Awareness Raising" which was mentioned 139 times. The other categories and the number of occurrences (in brackets) are as follows: "Development of Guidance Documents" (56), "Development of Legislation/Regulations" (51), "Encouraging Community Participation" (49), and "Design and Conduct of Research" (45).

Sub-sectors: The activities most often indicated were: "Risk Reduction/Management" (57), "Safe Production, Use Control of Emissions and Disposal of Toxic Substances" (39), "Hazard/Risk Assessment" (36), "Testing" (29), and "Import/Export of Substances" (26).
The duration of the projects varied considerably. Of the 189 projects for which project duration was reported: 7 lasted only a few days or weeks (e.g. training, workshops); 15 were 3-9 months-long; 55 lasted 1-2 years; 68 were for 3-5 years; 28 lasted 6-9 years and 6 lasted 10 or more years. In addition, 10 projects were described as on-going. For 24 other projects, only a start date is given which may refer to on-going projects for which the end date may not be yet determined or may not have been reached.

Additional information (optional reporting)

In order to lessen the burden of reporting, countries were only asked to respond to a few questions regarding descriptions of their projects. However, countries had the option of providing answers to more specific questions which requested information on the type of assistance, technical and/or financial. Respondents could also complement the reporting forms by attaching any document describing their projects. Most responses contained answers to at least one question in the optional part of the survey.

Countries provided information concerning the type of assistance (technical or financial) for 167 projects. Of these projects, technical assistance was provided for 63 projects, financial aid for 54 projects, and a combination of both for 50 projects. Quantification of the amount of aid, either monetary or technical (e.g., cost of project staff), was given for 149 projects.
For 105 of the projects, an additional narrative description was provided. These descriptions varied from a few lines to several pages of text (e.g. project outlines, project fact sheets).

Possibilities for co-operation and co-ordination

One of the original reasons for initiating this project was to increase efficiencies in donor assistance and avoid duplication. Although the project descriptions provided by countries are not extremely detailed, they can be used to point to areas where consultation between donor countries may be worthwhile. For instance, there are countries which receive assistance on pesticides projects from three or four different donor countries. While those facts alone do not necessarily mean there is duplication, it could point to an area where the donor countries could discuss their projects amongst themselves and see if there are areas for co-operation.
