The World Trade Organization (WTO) has commenced an introductory course aimed at government officials from Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Geneva. The course is designed to enhance participants' understanding of the functioning, structure, and fundamental principles of the multilateral trading system. It focuses on specific WTO agreements and provisions related to LDCs, as well as the connection between WTO activities and trade policy issues specific to these countries.
During the launch of the course on April 8, Stefania Bernabè from the WTO's Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation emphasized that "this program has been specifically designed to meet the needs of LDCs within their objectives of integrating into global trade and improving living standards."
In addition to theoretical sessions and practical exercises, participants will have the opportunity to attend a session of the Committee on Trade and Development as well as a trade policy review session for Morocco.
