Statistical note
According to the WTO Task Force on Aid for Trade, projects and programmes are part of aid for trade if these activities have been identified as trade related development priorities in the partner country’s national development strategies.
Explanatory note

The aim of the country profiles is to stimulate debate on aid-for-trade effectiveness.
