Foreword

Trade continues to be at the forefront of the development agenda. But the development of trade requires concerted and sustained action, and this is possible only with well-established trade support institutions (TSIs) that function efficiently and effectively. It is generally recognized that there is need for a network of TSIs, from both the private and public sectors, working together to develop and implement a national trade strategy. There must also be a focal point, acting as a catalyst and coordinator, and this role is normally filled by the national trade promotion organization, or TPO.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
