It also reviews the role that domestic policies and international co-operation can play in creating a more prosperous and inclusive future for these countries.

Aid for Trade seeks to enable developing economies, and in particular least-developed countries (LDCs), to use trade as a means of fostering economic growth, sustainable development and poverty reduction. It promotes the integration of developing economies, especially LDCs, into the multilateral trading system and aims to galvanize support to build supply-side capacity and trade-related infrastructure in these economies to improve trade performance. This publication draws on the responses provided by participants to the questionnaire of the 2024 joint OECD–WTO Aid for Trade monitoring and evaluation (M&E) exercise, which underpins the 2024 Global Review of Aid for Trade. It presents an analysis of the M&E questionnaire responses and provides information on Aid for Trade financing flows up to the year 2022. Drawing on the responses to the survey, it describes priority areas for the Aid for Trade Initiative for 2024 and the coming years.

The transition to clean energy offers opportunities for developing economies and least-developed countries (LDCs) to exploit the export potential of this transition and to accelerate their growth prospects. The WTO-led Aid for Trade initiative provides significant support to these economies to help them develop their energy sectors and transition to clean energy. However, sustained support is required to ensure that firms benefit from the trade opportunities that will emerge as a result of the clean energy transition. This report highlights the role that Aid for Trade can play in mobilizing financial resources to deliver targeted assistance and to help developing economies unlock export opportunities created by clean energy. It also underlines the role of development partners in helping firms integrate into clean energy value chains by investing in the production of clean energy technologies, such as green hydrogen and solar power.

Sans accès direct à la mer ou aux océans et isolés des plus grands marchés du monde, les pays en développement sans littoral (PDSL) rencontrent de nombreuses difficultés pour s'intégrer dans les chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales. Ce rapport recense les goulets d'étranglement commerciaux spécifiques qui existent dans les PDSL et qui accroissent les coûts de l'activité commerciale, allongent les délais de traitement des marchandises aux frontières et limitent la circulation transfrontières des marchandises. Voyant leur situation aggravée par les effets dévastateurs de la pandémie de COVID-19, les PDSL ont enregistré une baisse plus marquée des échanges, et pendant plus longtemps que le reste du monde. Ce rapport montre le rôle vital que peut jouer l'Accord sur la facilitation des échanges (AFE) pour stimuler la production et faciliter le commerce mondial en simplifiant, en modernisant et en harmonisant les procédures pour la circulation, la mainlevée et le dédouanement des marchandises. La participation à l'AFE peut accroître les possibilités des pays en développement – et en particulier les PDSL – de participer plus pleinement aux chaînes de valeur mondiales. Le rapport se conclut par des recommandations concernant les mesures pouvant être prises par les PDSL, les pays de transit voisins et les organisations internationales pour atténuer les goulets d'étranglement d'ordre commercial, afin de maintenir la fluidité des échanges et de rendre le commerce plus inclusif.

Twenty-first century Africa is in a process of economic transformation, but challenges remain in areas such as structural reform, governance, commodity pricing and geopolitics.
