The ESCAP-WCO UNNExT (United Nations Network of Experts for Paperless Trade in Asia and the Pacific) Masterclass is an intensive two-week capacity building programme intended to build the capacity of Governments to simplify trade procedures and implement paperless trade systems, including single window facilities. It is delivered by experts and practitioners with extensive experience on trade facilitation and paperless trade in English. Jointly organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the World Customs Organization (WCO), in collaboration with the Korea Customs Service, the Masterclass combines lectures with group discussions, hands-on use of paperless trade applications and field studies to maximize learning and interactions among course participants. Training will be delivered by a team of carefully selected senior UNNExT/WCO/KCS experts with practical experience in each relevant area. Upon successful completion of the course, UNNExT certificates will be issued to the participants. DATES AND VENUE 7 – 18 October 2013 Venue: Customs Border Control Training Center (CBCTC, https://ctc.customs.go.kr/), Korea Customs Service, Cheon-an, Republic of Korea PARTICIPANTS Participants to the Masterclass are expected to be around 25 managerial-level government officials from developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region, whose responsibilities are related to trade facilitation. Though not only limited to them, this year’s Masterclass is primarily targeted to Customs officials. Applications for the Masterclass will be carefully screened and selected by the organizers to promote cross-learning between participants because of space limitations. FOCUS OF THE CLASS The Masterclass intends to provide a high-level complete picture on how to move towards Single Window environment by implementing a series of inter-related trade facilitation measures. The trade facilitation measures covered in the Masterclass include Business Process Analysis and Modeling, simplification and harmonization of trade data, creation of national legal framework for paperless trade and Single Window planning. While these measures can be also used individually, when used in parallel or in combination one another, they help Governments to better design a practical Single Window implementation planning.
Legal Framework for Paperless Trade Simplifying and Harmonizing Trade Data Single Window Environment for Trade Facilitation Single Window Implementation Planning Process Analysis and Modeling The Masterclass will be based on the UNNExT Single Window Implementation Toolkit, relevant WCO tools and instruments and simulated Single Window system. In addition, participants will have an opportunity to practice and witness actual operation of paperless trade and Single Window through Korea’s Simulated Single Window Learning system and field study visits. Other relevant material will also be used to enrich the programme and ensure that participants are provided with the latest concept and most up-to-date knowledge.
