Promoting Trade Knowledge among Parliamentarians of the Americas

closed

The general objective of this technical cooperation project is to promote knowledge of the economic, social and legal prerequisites of an inclusive pro-poor trade agenda. Specific objectives include: (i) strengthening the capacity of Latin American and Caribbean parliamentarians to understand the nature of a rules-based international trading system; (ii) improve their capacity to work with constituents, business and civil society in the formulation of international trade policy agendas and in the implementation of domestic complementary reforms that contribute to poverty reduction; and (iii) to foster the sharing of experiences and lessons learned and encourage dialogue and cooperation among parliamentarians of the hemisphere on issues relating to trade policy.
