Recommendations to operationalize the Enhanced IF adopted on May 1, 2007 – from transition to implementation:

At their meetings on 1 May 2007, the Integrated Framework Working Group (IFWG) and the Integrated Framework Steering Committee (IFSC)- the IF governing bodies- adopted a package of recommendations to start the implementation phase of the enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF). The package was the fruit of 19 months of intense work in the Transition Team and its three clusters, which were set up to operationalize the recommendations of the Task Force on an enhanced IF (WT/IFSC/W/15). It may be recalled that Ministers at the WTO Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in December 2005 were encouraged by the endorsement by the Development Committee of the World Bank and the IMF at its autumn 2005 meeting of an enhanced IF. At the Hong Kong Conference, WTO Ministers welcomed the establishment of a Task Force by the IFWG and IFSC as well as an agreement on the three elements which together constitute an enhanced IF: (i) increased, additional, predictable financial resources to implement Action Matrices; (ii) strengthened in-country capacities to manage, implement and monitor the IF process; and (iii) enhanced IF governance.

The package of recommendation (EIF Consolidated Documents) English Version (pdf - 600k) | French version (pdf - 538k) adopted by the IF governing bodies on 1 May 2007 contains a compilation of working documents setting out the terms of reference and procedures to access funding and of the bodies that constitute the EIF. The recommendations also include, inter alia, a road map outlining the next steps in order to ensure smooth transition from the current IF its enhanced phase. Work is ongoing to select the Trust Fund Manager for the new EIF Trust Fund, recruitment of the Executive Director for the new EIF Secretariat and on the replenishment of the Trust Fund.
