Explanatory note

The aid-for-trade country profiles provide factual information aid-for-trade financing flows, trade costs, trade performance and key development indicators at the country level. The aim is to compare a performance in these four categories for the year 2020 as compared to 2006, the year of the inception of the aid-for-trade initiative, and against country group benchmarks for these selected indicators. The aim of the country profiles is to stimulate debate on aid-for-trade effectiveness.
