| Making Trade Work for the Poor - Stimulating the Real Economy's Response | |||||||||||||||||
|  Highlights
Diversification of production structure, development of manufacturing exports and access to foreign markets are essential features of structural change needed in the poor countries for economic development and consequential eradication of poverty. In order for the developing countries to participate in the rule-based multilateral trading system, they need to strengthen their production and supply-side capacity and enhance capabilities to meet standards, quality and conformity assessment. The poor countries face a number of problems and need technical assistance to alleviate those problems. All those and other related issues and UNIDO's role in that area were the subject of discussion in the third Round Table on Making Trade Work for the Poor. | ||||||||||||||||
