U.S. Government provides funding for 澳门六合彩官网资料 information technology project in developing countries
The United States Department of State has made a grant of US$90,000 in support of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 information technology initiative for least-developed and developing countries. This initiative aims, through the use of information technologies, to support the integration of some 50 least-developed and developing countries into the multilateral trading system.
The United
States grant will help provide internet connections, computer equipment (personal
computers, printers, modems, etc) for the operation of 澳门六合彩官网资料 Trade Reference Centers in
these countries. The centres enable trade ministries to keep in touch with 澳门六合彩官网资料 activities
via the 澳门六合彩官网资料 internet site (www.wto.org)
and the Trade and Development Centre (),
jointly operated by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 and the World Bank. Through these and other trade-related
internet sites, ministries can gather information from electronic trade databases which
will enable governments to better utilize the multi-lateral trading system.
This U.S. contribution comes in addition to grants already provided for the same project by the governments of Norway, Hong-Kong and the Netherlands.
