Technical cooperation and training

The Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation (ITTC) strengthened the content and quality of WTO technical assistance programmes and reinforced key aspects by providing, for example, stronger results management and implementing a progressive learning strategy. The WTO undertook 281 technical assistance activities in 2013. Although the total was down on 2012, the number of participants rose due to the growing use of e-learning tools, with an increasing focus on least-developed countries (LDCs) and Africa.
