TAF2+ can help acceding governments better understand what they want out of the accessions process, and supports them to land a final accessions package that can help them achieve their development objectives, says @DFID_UK Josephine Hetherington at #WTOAccessions Week

The afternoon panel focuses on mechanisms to address access to #finance issues and bridge the gap between lenders and #MSMEs at the international level.

[TAF2PLUS @TAF2PLUS]

#MSMEs face obstacles to participation in global #trade, including lack of relevant skills, lack of knowledge about international markets, cumbersome border procedures, and limited access to finance.

[TAF2PLUS @TAF2PLUS]

@JosLuisCancela1 of Uruguay provides opening remarks on priority areas to help #MSMEs to better integrate into world #trade and the growing MSMEs agenda in the #WTO.

[TAF2PLUS @TAF2PLUS]

Today in Geneva TAF2+ sponsors an advisory workshop to unpack the #MSMEs agenda in the #WTO, examine challenges faced by MSMEs seeking to internationalise, identify best practices and develop forward-looking recommendations.

Great presentation on opportunities and challenges for SMEs by Marion Jansen from ITC at TAF 2+ retreat today in Evian on E-commerce in WTO for developing countries. Lots of good resources to learn from available on ITC website for policymakers and business people.

[TAF2PLUS @TAF2PLUS]

TAF2+ sponsored retreat for developing countries looking at e-commerce in the WTO is underway in a wintery Evian. E-commerce is a complex and important subject for the global economy, and it's critical that developing countries are well-able to represent their interests.

"There is economic and social value to reducing inequality. We need to be able to make the case." - Sacha Silva, UK Mission to the WTO #TAFtradeandgender
