Relations with non-governmental organizations

In 2015, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) had many opportunities to voice their views on trade issues and received regular updates on WTO activities. NGOs participated in a number of WTO events, such as the Public Forum, the Fifth Global Review of Aid for Trade and WTO 20th anniversary activities, as well as at the Tenth Ministerial Conference in Nairobi. The WTO organized regional workshops for NGOs and provided regular briefings on trade negotiations and other issues.
