It is with abiding sadness that we must announce our closure.

We are grateful to our staff and all who walked alongside us on our 22 year journey in support of inclusive, sustainable development.

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges I have relied on ICTSD materials (especially including @ICTSDTradeLaw and @ICTSD_Bridges) since becoming involved in this field more than 12 years ago. Excellent resources.

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges As a trade policy advisor and negotiator for the government of Costa Rica, I find ICTSD work as an invaluable support for our work. I have participated in numerous of their events in Geneva as part of my posting there, and I consult their publications on a regular basis.

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges Invaluable. A place that publishes quality policy-maker relevant papers. Two of my most read papers are published with ICTSD_Bridges. Please keep up the great work.

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges During my period in Geneva ICTSD not only provided a realiable source of information, but a strustworthy platform to interact and dialogue in multiple side events and seminars. A very much needed piece in the puzzle of international trade. Openminded and pragmatic.

[Dr Anna Jerzewska @AnnaJerzewska]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges Reader & contributor. Participated in many policy dialogues over the years. Always impressed by the level of debate and outputs. One of the best forums for representatives from IOs, Gov, NGOs, academia and private sector to connect on trade & development.

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges ICTSD is a great, timely source of freely-accessible info on trade policy developments. It supports reseach for understanding & responding to challenges. (I’ve contributed content.) It provides a forum for discussion. It advocates market-oriented solutions. The world needs ICTSD!

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges I value very much @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges for my work, especially on trade, and share it with our networks. It is very informative. Thanks!

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges In 2016 we so nearly got a plurilateral WTO Environmental Goods Agreement - all down to the hard work of @RMelendezOrtiz and @ICTSD. Sadly it didn't happen at that time, but I know they won't give up, and they deserve all our support!

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges ICTSD is a resource for the planet on trade issues, two ways -- the unique, superlative and long-running @ICTSD_Bridges and other news efforts; & dialogues like E15 Initiative. I participated in E15 groups, wrote for ICTSD, and read Bridges -- keep it alive please!

[Yvonne Apea Mensah @YvonneAMensah]

Replying to @ICTSD @RMelendezOrtiz ICTSD is a great resource on trade and sustainable development issues. As a former staff member I wrote for Trade Negotiations Insight.

[Louis Hinzen @louhinzen]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges an invaluable source of expert information and analyses. A faithful reader since the early 2000's and first encounters w/ #trade #ag and #development policy incl. research on #cotton subsidies. Still serves me in professional life. Many thanks & keep it up!

[Margareta Drzeniek @MDrzeniek]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges ICTSD provides unique value as it fills a gap in the trade discourse by taking a broader view on trade issues and providing knowledge to enable better decisions.

[Anupam Chander @AnupamChander]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges @ICTSD is the think tank for the parts of the world that can't afford think tanks of their own, and a critical source of independent analysis for the parts that can.

[Isabelle Ramdoo @ir_ramdoo]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges I had the opportunity of working with @ICTSD on the E15 Initiative, an excellent platform bringing together global experts for thoughtful transformational thinking. A key player and one of the best European think-tanks on #trade matters. Knowledge products are great too!

[ShandanaGulzarKhan @ShandanaGulzar]

@RMelendezOrtiz @ICTSD @ICTSD_Bridges Ricardo, in my new role, I can say that if we had a local ICTSD chapter, trade would be different in Pakistan
