Gender and Trade

The Trade, Gender and Development Programme assists member countries in enhancing their understanding of the links between trade and gender, in conducting gender impact analyses of trade policies and agreements, as well as in the formulation and implementation of gender-sensitive trade policies through its many activities including research and analysis, technical cooperation and intergovernmental dialogues.

Analysis-Based Technical Cooperation

Since 2010, the Trade, Gender and Development Programme has worked with developing and least developed countries to analyze the impacts of trade and trade policy on gender equality and women's well-being; to provide technical assistance to raise policymakers' awareness of the gender ramifications of trade; and to support them in the formulation of gender-responsive trade policies.
