e-Trade Development Unit 
Focusing on the “e” dimension of technical co-operation

 

The prime objective of the e-Trade Development Unit is building capacity in e-trade in developing countries and economies in transition. It also acts as the corporate focal point of e-commerce activities.

The Unit is built around core institutional competencies to help export managers and strategy makers in developing countries and transition economies to cope with fast-moving technology driven global markets.

Over the next three years the e-Trade Development Unit will work to:

• Analyze and showcase a progression of e@work at the enterprise level from the Geneva 2003 phase of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to the Tunis 2005 phase of the Summit;
• Facilitate the integration of “e” dimensions into national export strategy planning and business-to-business (B2B) trade development;
• Build and enhance the e-Business Network as a tool for further integration into global e-marketplaces;
• Showcase evolving trends in e-business practice such as cyber marketplaces and B2B platforms, through e-Business Forums.
