Conference on the Global Dialogue on Capacity Building - 2007

In April 2007, the Global Dialogue on Capacity Building donor conference was held in South Africa during Global Forum V on Safeguarding Integrity and Fighting Corruption and achieved great success. During the conference the WCO brought together under one roof over 120 capacity building leaders from around the globe including an impressive number of Directors General. This is the first time such a conference had been arranged and the feedback from the participants from international institutions, development banks, development agencies, and donor institutions has been overwhelmingly positive. Follow-up meetings have already taken place based on the South Africa discussions.

Three important messages emerged from the donor community : donors are

(1) impressed by the progress the WCO has made, see the additional value of the WCO holistic approach to capacity building, and are interested in working with the WCO on capacity building;

(2) cognizant that the WCO is the only body that can develop and implement international Customs standards; and

(3) asserting that funding is available if action plans are developed with realistic and tangible objectives, accountability, and timelines.
