The upcoming Aid for Trade Global Review, scheduled for April 30, 2024, will be a significant event focusing on trade mainstreaming, food security, and connectivity. The event will feature four high-level plenaries and close to 55 sessions over two and a half days, bringing together ministers, heads of international agencies, and trade and development experts.
According to Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the event aims to examine the support provided to developing economies to enhance their trade capacity, with a particular focus on the financing needs and how the international community can assist developing economies, including Least Developed Countries (LDCs), to capitalize on trade opportunities and create a better future for their people.
In addition to the discussions, the event will also mark the release of "Aid for Trade at a Glance 2024," a joint publication of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The Global Review webpage has been made available for participants, containing the full schedule of the event and will be regularly updated with the latest information. Registration for the event in Geneva is open from April 30 to June 10, 2024, with the option for attendees to participate in plenary sessions through livestreaming and simultaneous interpretation in French, English, and Spanish.
To participate in the Aid for Trade Global Review and contribute to the discussions on trade mainstreaming, food security, and connectivity, interested individuals are encouraged to register for the event and engage in the valuable conversations that will take place among world leaders and experts in the field.
