Exporters and trade policy-makers in developing countries are increasingly concerned about non-tariff measures (NTM) applied by destination markets. These include a wide range of trade measures that are related to export, including technical regulations and other mandatory standards. Initial findings of the ongoing survey indicate that the impact of NTMs on exporters varies according to the country. Results from a 2008-2009 pilot survey, jointly executed by UNCTAD and ITC, demonstrated that technical measures -- including both sanitary and phytosanitary measures and technical barriers to trade -- are a major concern for exporters. The survey found that 72% of all companies questioned in six developing countries reported concerns about technical measures. ITC will implement NTM surveys i...

This article describes general budget support as an instrument of development cooperation. Based on poverty reduction strategies, poorer developing countries are increasingly receiving general budget support which enables their governments to carry out their core responsibilities more effectively. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks are discussed in a holistic approach. In view of aid effectiveness and efficiency, the author draws on an evaluation which was carried out in the context of the DAC/OECD in 2006, as well as on experience made in Switzerland's budget support engagement. He argues that the budget support methodology could also inspire the cooperation with non-governmental organisations.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by women seeking trade support services in Africa, ITC developed the ACCESS! program in 2005 with the goal of providing greater participation of African business-women in international trade. Following the success of six training workshops that reached more than 60 business-women, ACCESS! Tunisia has already extended its core training and business counseling activities and developed targeted microcredit support for its clients. This pilot project allowed the participants to better understand international market trends and to create market niches, develop prototypes and test the receptiveness of foreign markets. Through this joint initiative, the ACCESS! Tunisia team and its focal point institution, La Maison de l'Exportateur-Tunisie, have helped ...

Trade ministers meeting in Hong Kong, China last year urged the development community and WTO members to further scale up its cotton-specific assistance and promote and support South-South cooperation, including transfer of technology. An ITC-led project, financed by Denmark, aims to do just that. Thirty-three African countries are producers and net exporters of cotton. The Danish grant of US$580,000 will enable ITC to help African cotton producers understand and participate in world cotton markets, especially in Asia. Since Asian markets are not easy to access, ITC is working closely with the authorities of the importing countries on behalf of African exporters. The project will give African cotton exporters an in-depth understanding of Asian market requirements.

The creative skills, innovative spirit and sheer determination of African businesswomen are evident in the businesses they have created. However, for the most part, they deal exclusively in local markets and limited sectors. To expand their businesses internationally, they need access to markets, training, information and networks. A joint ITC-Trade Facilitation Office Canada (TFOC) program, "ACCESS! for African Businesswomen in International Trade", is helping to meet their needs. Trade promotion organizations and other support institutions act as focal points to help implement the program locally. These organizations are chosen for their demonstrated commitment to the development and support of women in trade, but are not exclusively women-oriented. Under the supervision of two Region...
