Trade and Human Development
UNDP Geneva’s work on Trade and Human Development is geared at scaling up UNDP’s substantive support to the Integrated Framework for Trade Related Technical Assistance (IF) for the Least Developed Countries (LDC's), and facilitating institutional relationships with IF partner agencies.
The office also acts as UNDP's focal point for the Trade and Productive Capacity Cluster of the United Nations Chief Executive Board, the WTO Aid for Trade Initiative and the UN Economic Commissions/Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UN-EC/ESA) Trade Cluster. It is part of the Inclusive Globalization Cluster of BDPs Poverty Group.
UNDP Geneva serves as a corporate knowledge resource on trade and human development, facilitates a wide range of partnerships on trade capacity building issues including with UNCTAD, the WTO and ITC and provides specialized policy advisory services to country offices on demand.
The office provides support on trade-related issues to UNDP's Nordic and Brussels Offices, facilitates a wide-range of partnerships on trade capacity-building issues, and promotes better understanding of the link between trade and human development concerns in Geneva trade discussions.
