ILEAP's Programmes
Analytical Support for Trade Negotiations

ILEAP provides practical, timely and independent inter-disciplinary advice in trade negotiations to developing countries. In the short-term, the focus of ILEAP’s activities is on issues such as the Uruguay Round built-in agenda, comprising agriculture and services; the implementation of Uruguay Round agreements; the continuation of past reforms in non-agricultural products; and the bilateral negotiations with developed countries’ regions such as the EU and USA.

Capacity Building

ILEAP recognizes that in order for developing countries to compete effectively and equally in international trade negotiations, they need more than access to the advice of dedicated professionals. They must also develop their own capacity to act for themselves, including the ability to negotiate effectively, to define and assess options, to identify the appropriate experts, and to evaluate their performances. Increasing the supply of experts in developing countries is a priority component of all ILEAP activities.
