Building Trade Capacity in the Developing World. US AID Strategy

摘要

USAID will enhance ongoing TCB programs with new initiatives to support developing countries' participation in international trade negotiations. USAID will increase support for WTO accessions, help countries develop trade analysis expertise, and enhance the information resources available to trade analysts in partner countries. To support trade agreement implementation, USAID will introduce new programs to promote sound systems of commercial law and improved customs management. The agency will also help developing countries establish open and competitive markets in services sectors that are critical to trade. To strengthen economic responsiveness to opportunities for trade, USAID will continue to implement a wide range of trade-related economic growth projects that improve economic policies and institutions, transfer technology, reduce dependence on exports of unprocessed tropical agricultural commodities, and assist local private sectors to meet product standards in international markets and take advantage of preferential market access programs.
