Aid for Trade

FAO looks forward to collaborating actively with the WTO and other development partners in elaborating the Aid-for-Trade initiative for the agricultural sector and facilitating the implementation of the initiative in the area of agriculture. Most of the Aid-for-Trade actions is expected to take place at the country level, but cross-border and regional programmes and projects are also envisaged. The emphasis placed by the Aid-for-Trade initiative on supply-side capacity and infrastructures on the one hand, and the significance of the agricultural sector in the economy and poverty reduction on the other, means that FAO is well placed to collaborate with development partners in operationalizing the new initiative.
