Over the past 20 years, the international community has helped unlock close to USD 800 billion to support trade development and raise living standards in developing economies, including least-developed countries, via Aid for Trade. The 2026 Global Review of Aid for Trade, held at the WTO's headquarters in Geneva, will bring together trade and development practitioners, including ministers, heads of international organizations and experts, to examine the impact of trade development interventions, explore evolving trade and development needs, and forge partnerships aimed at helping developing economies, including LDCs, fully realize their trade potential.
