Enhancing the Contribution of Preferential Trade Agreements to Inclusive and Equitable Trade (original) (raw)
The project will involve capacity building national workshops in the pilot countries, followed by a capstone regional dialogue for the different countries to share experiences and learn from another. Furthermore, the training materials, in addition to background documents and other materials derived from the workshops, will be made available online through a public knowledge sharing platform for all interested users as reference material. The most significant output of the project will be enhanced capacity among government officials and trade negotiators to formulate inclusive development-friendly preferential trade agreements so that trade arising from such policies has inclusive and equitable results: improvements in labour standards and wages; the elimination of child labour; positive impacts on gender equality; and enhanced contribution to general welfare, in particular for marginalized excluded groups.
