Reason
Seychelles had benefited from Technical Assistance under the 11th European Development Fund (11th-EDF) for the implementation of certain Category B and C commitments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government imposed travel restrictions as safety measures. Therefore, this hindered consultants' mobility access to Seychelles, which delayed the 11th EDF projects.
Seychelles also encountered issues in obtaining timely responses from UNCTAD regarding the upgrade of the ASYCUDA system, which is necessary for the eventual implementation of a single window system. Subsequently, upon the response from UNCTAD, financial issues were encountered as the cost of the upgrade was quite substantial, bearing in mind Seychelles' economic size. The Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC) was required to identify alternate funding to finance the upgrade.
Moreover, the issue of retention of expert programmers to work on the project and the recruitment of local programmers to work alongside the contractors (necessary for knowledge transfer and continuity) were encountered.
Presently, given the ending phase of the 11th EDF project scheduled for May 2024, the retention of the experts with the technical support needed for implementation of Single Window has yet to be determined completely; thus, this will affect the extended definitive date for implementation of the Single Window.
Nevertheless, some of the projects are close to the completion phase, namely, continued integration of the latest World Customs Organization (WCO) new tariff schedule, except for Single Window, which is yet to commence due to challenges and work deliverables needed to be undertaken herewith presented below.
Firstly, Seychelles would need to implement the legal framework for governance of the processes for information and data exchange between the Seychelles Revenue Commission (SRC) and the other principal stakeholders and authorities.

Nevertheless, the majority of the projects have been completed or are close to the completion phase, except for Single Window, which is yet to commence.
In light of the above, Seychelles would like to request an extension of the definitive date of implementation for the Single Window.
