Supporting Green and Digital Trade Facilitation in ADB's Developing Member Countries

Proposed

The proposed Technical Assistance (TA) program aims to support developing member countries (DMCs) in implementing trade facilitation initiatives by promoting green and digital solutions and other necessary supports such as improvement of single window systems, implementation of paperless trade, and enhancement of electronic data exchange. The TA activities will be delivered through three channels; (i) bank-wide support, which will include knowledge products and knowledge sharing events to capture and disseminate emerging practices in green and digital trade facilitation; (ii) subregional support, which will include developing action plans, conducting analytical studies, and organizing meetings and workshops in collaboration with subregional economic cooperation programs; and (iii) country-level support, which will include tailored assistance to selected DMCs, addressing their specific needs and challenges.
