ADB has been an active partner of and contributor to the World Trade Organization (WTO)-led Aid for Trade Global Review since its inception in 2005. ADB's main contribution consists of a research report, Aid for Trade in Asia and the Pacific, launched at the Aid for Trade Global Review, as well as organization of side events. The report provides an update on Aid for Trade trends and patterns in Asia and the Pacific. In addition, the report includes in-depth analyses on topical issues related to the inclusiveness and sustainability of trade growth, in the context of a biennial work program approved and circulated by WTO's Committee for Trade and Development. The TA subproject 2 will have the following outcome: DMCs' understanding of relevant trade opportunities, bottlenecks, and issues improved. The TA subproject 2 will contribute to the TA cluster's overall outcome by producing and disseminating the Aid for Trade Report 2021, organizing related knowledge sharing events, and publishing background papers as policy briefs and working papers.
