We work in partnership with the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), supporting their regulatory, research and policy strategies and helping to turn them into practical projects.

Our overarching goal is to help developing countries to achieve sustainable development through exports; activating, supporting and delivering projects with an emphasis on competitiveness.

To achieve our mandate, we work with national, regional and international bodies. However, it is our daily contact with business people and policymakers that gives us the unique perspective and the experience to deliver tangible results.

ITC remains the only international organization focused solely on trade development for developing and transition economies.

Our goal, moving forward, is to build on our capability and that of our partners to bring about even greater development impact.

We will achieve this through a combination of practical support in the fi eld and by providing the information, training and tools to help small business in developing countries help themselves to export success. This will serve as a catalyst to help create better jobs and raise average incomes in these countries.
