CEB Interagency Cluster on Trade and Productive Capacity In early 2008, UNSSC worked in cooperation with the CEB Interagency Cluster on Trade and Productive Capacity (including UNCTAD, UNIDO, FAO, ITC, WTO, UNDP and the UN Regional Commissions) in the design and preparation of a pilot Workshop on Trade and Productive Capacity for UN Resident Coordinators and selected UNCT staff. The workashop’s tile was “Making Trade Work for the MDGs”. The pilot training aimed at enhancing the role trade-related and productive capacity issues from a human-development point of view in the UN country development assistance plans, in particular the UNDAF. The program also aimed at improving the capacity of the UN system to respond to trade and productive sector development in a coherent and more efficient fashion to the needs of the developing countries, with a view to maximising their contribution towards achieving the MDGs. Partners in Action Since 1998 the UN System Staff College dates back to 1998 have been delivering traiing on partnering skills in collaboration with the London-based International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF). Bringing together the UN system-wide learning activities of UNSSC and the wealth of experience and expertise of IBLF’s, The Partnering Initiative, the partnering training and capacity building activities represent a dynamic response to rapidly increasing demand for partnering skills training within the UN system. Launched in December 2005, the Partnering Skills for Strategic Engagement course is designed to enhance the abilities of UN staff and their development partners to engage in and promote innovative and effective multi-stakeholder partnerships. Since its launch, the three-day course has been delivered 18 times in 12 different locations attracting more than 500 participants.
