With the support of the EIF, Tuvalu is putting trade strategies into its National Strategy for Sustainable Development 2016-2020. To advance on the trade mainstreaming agenda, a Trade Policy Framework (TPF) was developed that focuses on trade development and expansion through the private sector. Tuvalu has prioritized trade‑related activities in agriculture, fisheries, tourism and labour mobility as a step towards implementing the TPF.
