Aid for Trade

The Aid for Trade initiative aims to help developing countries use trade as a means of achieving economic growth and alleviating poverty. The initiative supports the integration of developing countries – and particularly least-developed countries – into the multilateral trading system by mobilizing international resources to address the constraints experienced by these countries so that they can participate more effectively in global trade and benefit from this activity. One of the key aims of the initiative is to enhance the capacity of developing countries to trade and to take advantage of market access opportunities.
