Platforms and Tools

A suite of online platforms and tools developed by ITC aimed at supporting private and public sector stakeholders in identifying export and import opportunities, comparing market-access requirements, monitoring national trade performances, making well-informed trade decisions, enhancing business and export capacities and connecting them to communities.

The West African Competitiveness Observatory helps policymakers to define policies that foster trade competitiveness and value chain development, and supports local firms, in particular small and medium enterprises, to integrate more into regional value chains.

The Observatory has been established under the West Africa Competitiveness Programme (WACOMP). It is implemented by the International Trade Centre (ITC) under the coordination of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and with the financial support of the European Commission.

Analysing trade data for SIDS is complex due to issues such as non-reporting, reporting delays and inaccuracies, making collating and interpreting data to spot trade trends a key challenge. The SIDS Trade Tracker addresses this gap by making accessible trade indicators on a wide range of topics, from recent trends to export concentration and SIDS-specific factors such as remoteness, tourism dependence and food import reliance.

Policymakers, for example, can use the tool to monitor trade development challenges of SIDS and design strategies to overcome them.
