United States donates USD 600,000 to enhance developing countries’ trade expertise

The government of the United States is contributing USD 600,000 in 2022 to finance activities aimed at deepening the expertise and negotiating skills of government officials working on issues related to trade and the WTO.

The contribution is channelled through the WTO’s Global Trust Fund, which finances technical assistance activities for developing and least-developed countries (LDCs).

The United States’ contribution will support activities aimed at helping officials fulfil WTO notification requirements so that governments may benefit from the transparency obligations of WTO agreements, among other activities.

“I thank the United States for its ongoing support for the capacity-building work carried out by the WTO Secretariat,” said Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. “The United States’ contribution will support the implementation of trade policies aimed at achieving inclusive and sustainable growth for developing countries and LDCs.”

The US Ambassador to the WTO, Maria Pagan, said: “Our longstanding commitment to the Global Trust Fund is an important part of our global trade capacity building efforts. The United States’ donation will help, in particular, developing and least-developed countries fulfil their transparency obligations. Guidance and training for officials responsible for preparing this information is a priority. Our capacity building efforts help to ensure that the work undertaken by WTO members is translated into tangible improvements in the lives and welfare of people around the world.”

Over the past 20 years, the United States has provided more than USD 6 billion in technical and capacity-building assistance for more than 110 countries. Over USD 27 million has been channelled to the WTO’s various trust funds.
