REGIONAL REVIEWS 2007

ITC orchestrated three Dialogues during the 2007 regional reviews organized by WTO in cooperation with the Regional Developments Banks with the private sector to reflect, deliberate and underline the latter’s critical role in Aid for Trade.

The Dialogues served to examine the specific needs of the private sector, how the aid for trade initiative should address these needs, and how priorities should be established, in the following three areas:

1. The private sector as advocate in trade policy-making and for creating a
   business friendly environment;

2. The private sector as partner in design, financing and execution of infrastructure
   projects;

3. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) overcoming supply side constraints to
   take advantage of the opportunities of trade liberalization  >> more
