The second part of UNCTAD inputs builds on its long-standing experience in carrying out analytical work and providing technical advice in the area of competition and consumer policies. UNCTAD supports efforts carried out by developing countries in challenging anti-competitive behaviour in domestic markets, as well as responding effectively to a range of anti-competitive practices in international markets that impair or nullify the benefits expected from developing countries' participation in dynamic export sectors and market liberalization at domestic level.

In the context of this project, the major analytical and knowledge-transfer-related activities in COMPAL will be:

• delivering presentations/papers/policy recommendations as required by the project's substantive activities. This will transfer lessons learned from project activities to beneficiary countries;
• designing and supervising training programmes and support materials, and providing feedback on commissioned reports, papers and any other published material;
• encouraging cross-country exchange of experiences among project beneficiaries, as appropriate;
• providing technical advice in specific cases, notably on legislation and implementation;
• disseminating findings from the project in international fora;
• passing on to beneficiary countries new information, data, experiences, and best practices on the implementation of competition and consumer protection laws and policies;
• in coordination with local counterparts, producing a series of research studies/reports in Spanish and some short pieces, abstracts, communications and executive summaries that will be also presented in English with the purpose of disseminating their contents throughout the international community.
