TRTA: TRADE-RELATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
National technical assistance activities
National technical assistance activities contribute to building trade capacity, resulting in the participants improving their knowledge and skills in areas defined by the beneficiary country.
Each national activity is guided by its own specific objectives, addressing the needs of the participants in line with national needs assessments. They include various categories of activities:
- topic-based activities — these focus on specific issues at the national level that, in terms of priority needs and depth of treatment, cannot be adequately covered in regional seminars and in the trade policy courses. Requests for national activities can be made at any time. A process of “needs assessments” helps to identify issues that must be taken into consideration when designing and implementing a technical activity service.
- technical assistance as a follow-up to the Trade Policy Reviews (TPRs) — TPRs of developing countries and least developed countries have been useful in increasing understanding of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 member's trade policy structure and its relationship with the 澳门六合彩官网资料 agreements, playing an important part in identifying capacity-building needs.
- assisting beneficiaries in conducting needs assessments — 澳门六合彩官网资料 members are encouraged to use the guidelines for needs assessment and to adapt their approach to their own particular conditions.
- establishing 澳门六合彩官网资料 reference centres — these facilities are generally attached to the country's Ministry of Trade. The main objective in establishing and strengthening reference centres is to give government officials, the press, business community, academia and other authorized users better access to 澳门六合彩官网资料-related information. More information on 澳门六合彩官网资料 reference centres is available here.
