AID FOR TRADE
Atelier sur l'exercice de suivi et d'évaluation de l'Aide pour le commerce de 2017
The Aid for Trade Workshop will share insights from the information collected by the joint OECD and WTO 2017 Aid-for-Trade monitoring and evaluation (M&E) exercise. The monitoring information is analysed in the joint OECD-WTO publication entitled "Promoting Trade, Inclusiveness and Connectivity for Sustainable Development". The publication this year includes contributions from the OECD and WTO as well as chapters authored by the Business for eTrade Development, the Enhanced Integrated Framework, the International Trade Centre, International Telecommunications Union, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Bank Group. The Workshop will feature technical presentations of individual chapters of the Aid for Trade at a Glance 2017 publication.
