The Trade Facilitation Support Program (TFSP) was launched in June 2014 to support countries seeking assistance to improve their cross-border trade environments and better align their trade practices with the (WTO TFA).
TFSP¡¯s funding helps countries¡ªparticularly developing countries¡ªachieve full and effective implementation of the WTO TFA measures and related trade facilitation reforms. TFSP funding helps client countries:
The TFSP currently supports 58 countries across all regions, most of which are least developed countries. The largest share of countries receiving support are in Sub-Saharan Africa. Support is also provided to fragile and conflict-affected countries.
¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP Group has helped countries significantly improve their alignment with the WTO TFA. The helps countries to monitor and report on progress.
Recognizing the important roles of both the public and private sectors in trade facilitation, the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP Group implements the TFSP by drawing on the unique expertise of both the World ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The program is funded by nine donor partners: Australia, Canada, the European Commission, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, , and the United States.
¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵAPP Group works very closely with the WTO, and other partners and donors in supporting developing countries in improving border processes and procedures.
