Assessment of Poverty Reduction Impact of EU-Central America Trade Agreement

closed

The overall objective is to strengthen the analytical capacity of Central American governments to assess the economic and social impact of trade integration with the European Union (EU). The specific objectives are: (i) to allow Central American countries to assess the impact of different trade and integration scenarios on poverty, particularly in the context of the CACM-EU bi-regional associations negotiations; and (ii) to guide governments officials in the identification of appropriate policy interventions to maximize the gains from trade and to minimize transition costs.
