Summary

Numerous barriers prevent developing countries - in particular the least developed - from taking advantage of opportunities that could help them reduce poverty. The Aid-for-Trade Initiative has successfully built awareness of the support those countries need to surmount these barriers. As a result, more and more developing countries are raising the profile of trade issues in their development strategies and donors are responding by increasing the resources they provide to build trade capacity in areas such as policy, institutions, and infrastructure. This aid-for-trade monitoring report -- the second of its kind - documents the success of the initiative to date. It examines trends and developments and presents a comprehensive analysis of donor and partner country engagement. In addition, it addresses the regional dimension of aid for trade and showcases three cross-border infrastructure projects. Finally, the report provides fact shets that help in assessing the outcomes and impacts of aid fort rade.
