Regional Trade
for Global Gains
The “Programme for building African Capacity for Trade” (PACT II) is
a trade-related technical assistance programme, executed by the
International Trade Centre (ITC) and funded by the
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
It aims at strengthening the support capacity of African regional
and national institutions to enhance export competitiveness, market
linkages and export revenues of African small and medium size enterprises
with a special focus on women-owned enterprises.
PACT II builds on the long-term trade development and promotion
expertise of ITC and on the encouraging results of
PACT I.
