This study examines the extent to which the European Commission and the Member States have achieved effective co-ordination and complementarity in the area of Trade Capacity Building initiatives. The evaluation focuses on Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and on the Doha agenda period from 2001 to the present.
The overall conclusion is that Trade Capacity Building should be systematically integrated into the Partner’s poverty reduction strategy and should be treated as a multi-sectoral issue in any policy discussions on economic growth and poverty reduction as well as in any strategies elaborated on the basis of these discussions.
This systemic character of Trade Capacity Building should be taken as a point of departure for EU co-ordination in this area to be effective. Such co-ordination should address the full range of policies, sectors and stakeholders that are involved in TCB initiatives’ successful contribution to the developing countries’ gradual integration into the world economy.
