Meeting of the United Nations Agencies
TCDC Focal Points
4 June 2001
Following
the twelfth session of the High-level Committee on the Review of
Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC), the TCDC
focal points of the United Nations organizations met in New York
on 4 June 2001 to review the decisions of the High-level Committee
that were relevant to the United Nations system and chalk out a
plan for responding to them.
The
meeting participants agreed on the need for greater collaboration
and coordination of efforts to promote South-South cooperation
with a view to contributing more fruitfully to international
development. They
also decided to take up a few tasks more systematically and remain
active until the next meeting of the High-level Committee in 2003.
Major decisions taken included a review of the revised
guidelines relating to policies and procedures concerning TCDC,
finalization of a common results framework for better reporting on
TCDC, system-wide documentation and dissemination of successful
practices of South-South cooperation, and strengthening of
information systems and databases of all organizations of the

developing countries.
