PACCIA/PACT is a partnership programme, managed by the International Trade Centre and Trade Facilitation Office Canada. Both organizations have provided trade training and related technical assistance to developing and transition economy countries for several decades.

The International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO (ITC) is the technical cooperation agency of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) for operational, enterprise-oriented aspects of trade development. ITC supports developing and transition economies, and particularly their business sector, in their efforts to realize their full potential for developing exports and improving import operations.

The Trade Facilitation Office Canada (TFOC) was founded in 1980 by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) to assist developing countries in exporting to the Canadian market. Two decades later, TFOC, operating as a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization, has become the primary provider of information and related assistance on exporting to the Canadian market - and a primary source of training for export promotion and foreign investment attraction for developing countries.
