Aid for Trade: Making it Effective // Chapter 2: The Scope of the Aid for Trade Agenda

- This chapter deals with Traditionally Trade Related Technical Assistance and Capacity Building (TRTA/CB) as it relates to developing trade and economic growth.

- Two categories are made to classify the activities: trade policy and regulations and trade development.

- Adjustment is (as always) a sore point, especially when adjustment costs are tied up in TRTA/CB and infrastructure.

- This paper limits the data to “only ODA targeted towards trade related technical assistance and capacity building, economic infrastructure and building productive capacity”.
