Role of the WTO back to top The role of the WTO is to: encourage additional flows of Aid for Trade from bilateral, regional and multilateral donors to support requests for trade-related capacity building from beneficiary countries support improved ways of monitoring and eval uating the initiative. encourage mainstreaming of trade into national development strategies by partner countries.
The Enhanced Integrated Framework is the main mechanism through which least-developed countries access Aid for Trade.

News back to top > More news on Aid for Trade Background The Aid for Trade initiative was launched at the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in December 2005. In February 2006 the WTO established a Task Force, with the aim of “operationalizing” Aid for Trade. The Task Force recommended in July 2006 that Aid for Trade should focus on identifying the needs within recipient countries, responding to donors and acting as a bridge between donors and developing countries. It also recommended the establishment of a monitoring body in the WTO, which would undertake a periodic global review based on reports from a variety of stakeholders. Working in cooperation back to top The WTO works in cooperation with an Advisory Group that the Director-General established in 2007 following the recommendations of the 2006 Aid-for-Trade Task Force. The main objective of the Advisory Group is to take forward the Task Force recommendations by encouraging coordination among the key players in the Aid for Trade initiative. The Advisory Group members are: the African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IMF, Inter-American Development Bank, Islamic Development Bank, ITC, OECD, UNCTAD, UNDP, UNECA, UNIDO and the World Bank. Implementation/monitoring back to top In 2007 the WTO's Aid for Trade initiative moved into its first stage of implementing the 2006 recommendations of the Aid for Trade Task Force. The WTO started by establishing a system of monitoring Aid for Trade at three levels: global monitoring of overall Aid for Trade flows, based on work carried out by the OECD monitoring the commitment of individual donors to provide additional Aid for Trade monitoring how the needs of developing countries for additional Aid for Trade are being presented to, and met by, the international donor community, including the development banks.
A Symposium Identifying Indicators for Monitoring Aid for Trade was held on 15-16 September 2008. Regional reviews back to top Working with its partner agencies, the WTO is also encouraging the holding of a limited number of national and sub-regional Aid-for-Trade reviews which will “road-test” current Aid-for-Trade plans, identify priorities, and agree on how these plans and priorities should be implemented. The aim of these reviews intially was to raise awareness of Aid-for-Trade. More recently, the Regional Reviews showcase “real-world” examples of Aid-for-Trade strategies in progress and create incentives for other countries and sub-regions to follow. The results of these regional reviews are profiled in the Global Reviews on Aid-for-Trade. > Regional Reviews 2009
> Regional Reviews 2007 Global review back to top One of the recommendations of the Aid-for-Trade task force was that a Global Periodic Review be convened yearly by the Monitoring Body in the WTO. The purpose of the Global Review is to strengthen the Monitoring and Eval uation of Aid-for-Trade to provide strong incentive to both donors and recipients in advancing the Aid-for-Trade agenda. > Global Review 2009
