2 SIDS more vulnerable than other developing countries (all data based on the UN's Economic Vulnerability Index)

3LDC-SIDS Other treatments A complex pattern of special treatments for SIDS, yet no special treatment by virtue of SIDS status UN-related travel support for LDCs Market access: * GSP (USA) * AGOA * EU: EPAs; ex-LDCs (3 yrs) ex-LDCs (3 yrs) : Development financing: * WB's "small island exception" (IDA) * ADB, AfDB * EU (EDF…) : Technical assistance: * Various partners * EIF after graduation * UN-related travel support after graduation (3 yrs) Market access: GSP:Australia Canada EU (EBA) : WTO:Concessions : Development financing: Donors : Technical assistance: EIF Ad hoc treatments: Maldives, 2005 Samoa, 2009

4 SIDS AND THE UN: STATE OF AFFAIRS Description and measurement of vulnerabilities UN action: good intentions, missed opportunities Special treatment: a question usually skipped (UNCTAD) In what sense is vulnerability a problem? Could special treatment make resilience- building action more effective? What UN action accordingly ? SIDS more vulnerable Acute economic dependence the "island paradox" Devel. financing Market access Techn. assistance Adopt SIDS criteria Revisit graduation rule Establish an "integr. framework" for SIDS
