Brainstorming Workshops for eTrade Readiness Assessment Focal Points

Two workshops will be held, one for anglophone countries (Wednesday 15 June, 8:30 - 10:00 CEST) and one for francophone countries (Thursday 16 June, 11:00 - 12:30 CEST) that have benefited from an eTrade Readiness Assessment (eT Ready).

They will target the national Focal Points from countries that have fully engaged in the 2nd eT Ready Implementation Review, including: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Malawi, Niger, Senegal, Solomon Islands, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda and Zambia. Implementation reviews are the cornerstone of the eT Ready Implementation Support Mechanism (ISM) and can be leveraged as a useful guide to scale-up implementation support interventions and benefit from assistance provided by UNCTAD and development partners.

The two workshops will build on findings and recommendations of the 2nd Implementation Review, with the objective of finding ways to tackle challenges faced by eT Ready beneficiary countries in coordinating and mobilizing stakeholders involved in the implementation process, assess needs and share views on potential solutions.
