IPRs conducted by UNCTAD provide developing countries with an external tool to assess how they stand at a given point in time in attracting FDI in consonance with national objectives and assist in promoting the role of FDI as a source of external financing for development. They comprise an audit of the country´s FDI policy framework and administrative structures and procedures; a round table meeting of stakeholders to discuss preliminary findings and recommendations; and a presentation at appropriate intergovernmental and international forums, which also serves as a peer review.
