Aid for Trade: Making it Effective // Chapter 3: Donor Support

- “This chapter provides some more detailed trends in bilateral and multilateral donor support to the different categories of the aid for trade agenda, i.e. TRTA/CB and supple-side constraints (infrastructure and building productive capacity). “

- Support for TRTA/CB has decreased USD 200 million.

- Trade Policy and Regulations increased about USD 50 million. Trade development funding increased from USD 240 million to about USD 1.8 billion. Donor contributions to other multilateral funds and programs increased 70% from 2001 to 2003 but remained stable FY 2003 to 2004.

- Funding for trade related infrastructure has been on the rise, mostly due to some large reconstruction programs in the Middle East.

- Aid for trade (except in the case of infrastructure) requires less financing by grants than education and health projects.
