| description |
Since the launch of the global
initiative on aid for trade in 2005, there has been a
concerted effort by donors, partner agencies, and recipients
to strengthen trade capacity and improve trade-related
infrastructure so that developing countries may reap the
benefits of trade. The majority of these efforts have been
driven by the public sector: building infrastructure,
providing technical assistance, improving trade
facilitation, and trade policies. With a growing number of
companies looking to the developing world for new markets,
the private sector has a profound interest in ensuring sound
investments through access to trade-related infrastructure,
an educated workforce, and quality standards for inputs to
their goods. The time is ripe to explore new partnerships
between the public and private sector in order to build
trade capacity in developing countries. This paper is a step
towards highlighting the role of the private sector in the
aid for trade initiative and provides a framework for
understanding what this role entails. This framework is
informed by 40 case stories submitted by multinational
companies, business associations, and other private sector
actors, which cover a variety of trade related capacity
building projects. These case stories demonstrate the
importance of the private sector in building human and
productive capacity, incorporating producers into global
value chains, improving quality and safety standards, and
promoting trade facilitation. The paper concludes by
highlighting seven ways in which the private sector engages
with the aid for trade initiative and provides several
avenues for bolstering future collaboration between the
public and private spheres. |
