AIDE POUR LE COMMERCE: OCTOBRE 2015
Atelier sur les Objectifs de développement durable, le Programme d'action d'Addis-Abeba et l'initiative Aide pour le commerce
Le Programme de développement durable à l'horizon 2030, adopté par l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies en septembre 2015, et le Programme d'action d'Addis-Abeba, adopté à la troisième Conférence internationale sur le financement du développement, reconnaissent que le commerce international joue un rôle moteur pour assurer une croissance économique inclusive et lutter contre la pauvreté. Les deux programmes comportent chacun une liste ambitieuse de projets et de domaines d'action, le but ultime étant d'éliminer la pauvreté d'ici 2030.

Aid for Trade is recognized as having an important role in supporting the promotion of sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and is cited as a specific area for action in both Agendas.
The Fifth Global Review discussed how Aid for Trade can promote inclusive, sustainable growth, particularly with regard to reducing high trade costs that hamper many developing countries', and in particular least developed countries', integration into the global economy.
The Workshop will discuss what the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Addis Ababa Agenda for Action mean for the future direction of the Aid-for-Trade Initiative.The Workshop on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Addis Ababa Agenda for Action (AAAA) and the Aid-for-Trade Initiative is the final dedicated thematic event foreseen in the 2014-2015 Aid-for-Trade Work Programme (WT/COMTD/AFT/W/51). The Workshop will provide an overview of the AAAA and the SDGs and discuss the implications of these global compacts for the Aid-for-Trade Initiative.
