Description
Prioritizing inclusions in responding to evolving needs entails ensuring gender parity in WTO TA activities and sustaining efforts to provide a gender perspective in TA activities. The WTO is working to enhance members' knowledge of trade and gender equality by providing training programmes for government officials. The aim of such training is to build WTO members' knowledge of the trade and gender nexus, as well as to support the implementation of trade and gender concepts and tools in analysing and developing trade policies. The specific courses are designed to enable government officials to address women's trade-related challenges and to contribute to the formulation and implementation of gender policies, strategies and programmes, in order to leverage opportunities in regional and international markets.
