Implementation Management Support

A good strategy is one that gets implemented

With tailored capacity-building, advisory support, and specialized tools, ITC offers ways to ensure strategies get implemented.

Success depends on government and businesses mobilizing resources to put the strategy into action. ITC provides tools and support to manage limited resources, coordinate and track implementation, and strengthen institutions. Good management gets policymakers and institutions to work together.

ITC’s Strategy Implementation Management Tool (SIMT) allows real-time management of trade and investment development. SIMT is a modern, web-based application that effectively addresses critical challenges. It complements other monitoring tools in the country for transparency, accountability and accuracy.

A good strategy achieves results. Without implementation, even the best-designed strategy is just a piece of paper. We often see that partner countries find implementation extremely challenging. In response to these difficulties, ITC's comprehensive set of services are designed to:

• Define a governance structure for collaboration and coordination among institutions;
• Set up digital systems to track progress, measure results, and identify gaps and duplications;
• Mobilize businesses and civil society;
• Mobilize national and international resources to fund implementation.

Implementing a trade development strategy requires a ‘whole of country’ approach, where government, the private sector, business support organizations and civil society work together to achieve results. ITC is your partner and advisor in this endeavour. We succeed only when you succeed.

ITC’s approach to implementation management focuses on four central elements: building effective governance structures, building institutional capacities, providing advisory support services, and providing a strategy implementation management tool.
