AYUDA PARA EL COMERCIO: OCTUBRE DE 2015

Taller sobre los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, la Agenda de Acción de Addis Abeba y la iniciativa de Ayuda para el Comercio

La Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible adoptada por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas en septiembre de 2015 y la Agenda de Acción de Addis Abeba adoptada en la Tercera Conferencia Internacional sobre la Financiación para el Desarrollo reconocen que el comercio internacional es un motor del crecimiento económico inclusivo y la reducción de la pobreza. Cada una de las agendas contiene una lista de ambiciosos planes y esferas de acción cuyo objetivo último es erradicar la pobreza de aquí a 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.
