Chapter 12Managing AfT and TRTA to Implement NTIS 2010N T I S201012.1 IntroductionImplementation <strong>of</strong> the Actions proposed in NTIS 2010 will require mobilizing fresh donor resources, as well asputting in place robust coordination and implementation arrangements. In doing so, the GoN should keep inmind the lessons learned from the implementation <strong>of</strong> the earlier NTIS 2004, including the need for strongercoordination and leadership on the part <strong>of</strong> the Government. In addition, the GoN needs to be mindful <strong>of</strong>the changing environment for ODA disbursement, implementation and management in adherence to theprinciples <strong>of</strong> the ‘2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness’.The GoN has identified several preliminary mechanisms to enhance country ownership <strong>of</strong> TRTA, includingthrough the implementation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Enhanced</strong> <strong>Integrated</strong> Framework (EIF) and the promotion <strong>of</strong> a Sector WideApproach (SWAp), like approach to improve government-donor coordination.Such mechanisms will include but are not limited to: a National Steering Committee (NSC), chaired by the Chief Secretary and co-chaired by the Secretary,MoCS. The NSC is to include key trade stakeholders on the Government, private sector, and donorsides; a National Implementation Unit (NIU) based in the MoCS; Technical Committees (TCs), with representatives <strong>of</strong> key line ministries with a stake in the trade sector.The TCs will work in close cooperation with the NIU; a Nepal Business Forum (NBF); a Donor Facilitator (DF), currently UNDP Nepal.Technical assistance support will be required to strengthen the capacity <strong>of</strong> those various implementationarrangements. The GoN has secured the support <strong>of</strong> the EIF-Tier 1 Trust Fund to assist with some <strong>of</strong> thiscapacity building.This chapter reviews: The new environment for TRTA; The National Implementation Arrangements (NIAs) being considered by the GoN in support <strong>of</strong> NTIS2010; Possible capacity development needs to strengthen the proposed NIAs; Examples and lessons from other countries that have taken steps to put in place similararrangements.12.2 What Has Changed in Trade Related Technical Assistance?The 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Accra Agenda forActionThe ‘Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness’, drafted in 2005 by the OECD Development Assistance Committee(DAC), laid out new guidelines to harmonize donor practices and increase the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> aid.
