50 CA-3-A031759015 2025-03-04T06:33:31 Building Capacities for Trade Expansion The project’s objective is to strengthen the capacity of African and Caribbean countries to secure pro-poor trading rules and to implement trade support strategies and commitments undertaken as part of domestic trade reform or international trade negotiations. The goal is to contribute to trade expansion with a positive impact on poverty reduction in these countries. The project helps government officials and non-state actors to better prepare their negotiation positions by providing relevant background information, by sharing best practices and lessons learned, and by discussing negotiation strategies among policymakers, negotiators, researchers, advisors, and representatives from the private sector and civil society. The project also provides high-quality trade policy advice to developing country trade policy practitioners while at the same time offering them hands-on experience. This is one of two components of a project valued at $1,499,939.
