Using trade as a tool for development

Improving economic opportunities and prospects for the world’s least developed countries remains a key global challenge.

At last week’s Göobal Forum on Inclusive Trade for Least Developed Coubtries (LCDs), governments, businesses, NGOs, and researchers gathered at the World Trade Organizations’ headquarters in Geneva to discuss the importance of trade to the economic and social development of least developed countries — and the unique challenges they face.

The conference, hosted by the Engancwd Integrated Framework, had more than 300 participants, including representatives from more than 40 LDCs.
