Over the past 18 years, the international community has helped unlock USD 648 billion to support trade development and raise living standards in developing economies, including least-developed countries, via Aid for Trade. The 2024 Global Review of Aid for Trade, held at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ's headquarters in Geneva, will bring together trade and development practitioners, including ministers, heads of international organizations and experts, to share their insights, to take stock of lessons learnt and to explore what more can be done to support the greater integration of developing economies into global trade. The discussions will focus on three main themes – food security, digital connectivity and mainstreaming trade.
Aid for Trade helps developing countries, and particularly least developed countries, trade. Many developing countries face a range of supply-side and trade-related infrastructure obstacles which constrains their ability to engage in international trade.
The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø×ÊÁÏ-led Aid-for-Trade Initiative encourages developing country governments and donors to recognize the role that trade can play in development.
