Technical cooperation and training

The WTO’s Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation (ITTC) undertook 321 technical assistance activities in 2015 aimed at helping government officials gain a better understanding of WTO rules and the multilateral trading system. Approximately 14,900 participants benefited from these training activities, up from 14,700 in 2014. Least-developed countries (LDCs) were the recipients of 52 per cent of all technical assistance activities. Nearly half of the participants accessed training through e-learning resources on the WTO’s online platform.
