ITC is "100% Aid for Trade"

 

 

The Aid for Trade initiative was launched at the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in December 2005. Aid for Trade helps developing countries, particularly least-developed countries, build the trade-related skills and infrastructure necessary to implement and benefit from WTO agreements and to boost their trade.

WTO is launching a series of regional reviews in lead up to the 2nd global review on 6-7 July 2009.

ITC, as the 100% Aid for Trade agency, is delivering on priorities expressed by stakeholders in Aid for Trade reviews.

ITC’s three main strategic objectives correspond to the Aid for Trade agenda.

In addition, ITC’s primary aim has always been to assist enterprises by:
 

  • Helping to make national policy environments more friendly for export business.

  • Strengthening national and regional institutions that provide services to exporters.

  • Helping enterprises to become more competitive in the global market.
