"This publication has been prepared as a joint effort of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) in order to improve assistance activities related to chemical accident prevention, preparedness and response. Specifically, it contains the Conclusions and Recommendations of a joint OECD-UN/ECE workshop at which a wide range of experts considered how to enhance the effectiveness of assistance programmes and help ensure that such programmes address priority needs of recipient countries. The Workshop also considered how the experiences gained from assistance activities could be shared among interested parties. The second part of this publication is a document which summarizes the relevant assistance activities of international organisations and individual countries, to the extent that such information was available. The Workshop concluded that such a document could help improve understanding of the available activities, facilitate sharing of experience, and promote increased co-ordination and cooperation. "
