In recent years, trade facilitation has been recognized as a key factor in trade and economic development policy. The WTO negotiations produced a Trade Facilitation Agreement, which constitutes a key driver for the implementation of trade facilitation instruments developed and supported by UNECE and other international organizations. This project aims at strengthening national capacities for better integration of selected economies in transition in the international rules-based trading system. It aims at enhancing countries’ exports and cross-border trade in their respective sub-regions. Special attention will be paid to help countries using the UNECE trade facilitation policy recommendations, standards and tools for the development of evidence-based policy coherence to support implementation of provisions of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement.
