A box should be added in the chart on page 8 to tie in all the strategic goals to DA implementation.
The heading below the chart in page 9 - “WIPO Strategic Goals with Development Agenda Linkages” - should be changed to “WIPO Strategic Goals with Development Agenda Recommendations”.
3. A separate section on the Development Agenda Implementation
There is no specific section in the MTSP on the implementation of the WIPO Development Agenda, when it is the single, most important, overarching process to take place in WIPO in the medium term 2010-2015. It is therefore anomalous that the Development Agenda only finds a home in Strategic Goal III in the MTSP. The introduction of DA recommendations under each Goal in Chart 9 is also at odds with the descriptions under each goal. No goal specifically states how the Development Agenda will be mainstreamed, which sharply contrasts with the Program and Budget document which for the past two years has specified how WIPO was attempting to mainstream the Development Agenda under each area. As the MTSP is the main strategic document for WIPO in the medium term, DAG Member States request that a separate section on the Development Agenda Implementation be added at the beginning of the MTSP to appropriately reflect that DA implementation is an overarching, agreed objective of the organization.
In the new suggested section on the Implementation of the WIPO Development Agenda, a new strategic indicator of “Strong focus on development throughout the organization” should be inserted, with the outcome indicator as “strong focus on development throughout the organization, with effective mainstreaming of the Development Agenda principles and recommendations in the work of all relevant Programs.” This would make DA implementation a necessary strategic outcome of the MTSP that refers to all WIPO strategic goals, rather than only to the attainment of strategic goal III. The text could then go on to indicate which specific DA recommendations fall under each goal, as is reflected in the Chart in page 9 of the revised MTSP.
The description of the Development Agenda in paragraph 4 and 5 in page 26, under the Strategic Goal III, should be moved to this new section.
