Welcome to the Geneva Trade & Development Forum!
The Geneva Trade & Development Forum (GTDF) is a platform to engage in an ongoing, substantive and open debate on trade and development challenges faced by poorer developing countries, where the various stakeholders active in trade and development interact freely, exchange their experiences and develop concrete and innovative solutions geared towards promoting pro-poor, pro-trade and pro-development strategies to better integrate developing countries in world trade and the international trading system. The Forum seeks to catalyze forces to act in order to support disadvantaged countries in making their voice heard and their interests taken into account.
The GTDF currently focuses on four intiatives:
1. Fostering an inclusive international trade architecture
2. Climate change measures: how to make them compatible with poorer
countries’ trade interests?
3. Industrial policies and latecomers
4. Encouraging a more development-friendly WTO accession process
(Friends of Accession).
