What kind of needs are identified? With a view to facilitating targeted technical and financial cooperation programmes, all the LDC Members will provide … as much information as possible on their individual priority needs for technical and financial cooperation in order to assist them taking steps necessary to implement TRIPS

And how to meet those needs? Needs assessment not an end in itself The real 'need' is not a need for a needs assessment. Needs assessment is only credible and worthwhile if avenues identified to meet the needs identified. 'Needs' to be consistent with identified policies, priorities and programs Prepare for realistic ways of sustainably meeting those needs
