PARTICIPANTS<br />
Participants to the Masterclass are expected to be around 25 managerial-level government officials<br />
from developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, whose responsibilities are related to trade<br />
facilitation. Though not only limited to them, this year’s Masterclass is primarily targeted to Customs<br />
officials. Applications for the Masterclass will be carefully screened <strong>and</strong> selected by the organizers to<br />
promote cross-learning between participants because of space limitations.<br />
FOCUS OF THE CLASS<br />
The Masterclass intends to provide a high-level complete picture on how to move towards <strong>Single</strong><br />
<strong>Window</strong> environment by implementing a series of inter-related trade facilitation measures. The<br />
trade facilitation measures covered in the Masterclass include Business Process Analysis <strong>and</strong><br />
Modeling, simplification <strong>and</strong> harmonization of trade data, creation of national legal framework for<br />
paperless trade <strong>and</strong> <strong>Single</strong> <strong>Window</strong> planning. While these measures can be also used individually,<br />
when used in parallel or in combination one another, they help Governments to better design a<br />
practical <strong>Single</strong> <strong>Window</strong> implementation planning.
