Aid for Trade (AfT) has become a major item on the international
trade and development discourse. This is to a large extent in
response to concerns expressed by developing countries and
economies in transition with regard to their capacities to
implement trade agreements, especially WTO agreements, and
undertake necessary adjustments to increase net development gains
from emerging trade opportunities.
In this World Report, major UN agencies active in development
cooperation and longstanding providers of trade-related technical
assistance and capacity building discuss ways to sustain the
momentum towards the operationalization and implementation of the
AfT initiative and the supportive role to be played by the UN
system. This is consistent with UN's role in promoting development
and helping to achieve poverty reduction, as committed in the
Millennium Declaration and the 2005 World Summit Outcome.
The Report should be of particular interest to government
officials, officials of regional organizations, representatives of
the private sector dealing with trade agreements and negotiations,
civil society and academia.
