What are the New Directions for TCDC?
The report on New Directions was adopted by the HLC in its ninth session in 1995. Among many decisions – such as better integrating TCDC and ECDC or such as creating the concept of pivotal countries – the New Directions establish the need to adopt a more strategic orientation for TCDC, focused on high priority areas like trade and investment, debt, environment, poverty alleviation, production and employment, macroeconomic policy coordination and aid management for strategic focus.
