Enhancing the capacity of developing countries and countries with economies in transition to participate in global trade is becoming increasingly critical for the future economic growth of these countries. The ability of enterprises in these countries to trade internationally depends more and more on their ability to enter into global value chains that are established by transnational corporations (TNCs).
The overall objective of the Trade Capacity Programme is to ensure that the competitive supply capacities of developing countries and countries in transition and their standards and conformity assessment infrastructure meet the requirements of global markets.
