The Aid for Trade Global Review 2017 is an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss how promoting trade inclusiveness and connectivity can enable the integration of developing countries, and in particular least developed countries into global trade, and so contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Debate at the Global Review 2017 will be informed by the results of a joint OECD WTO monitoring and evaluation (M& E) exercise. This M& E exercise surveyed Aid for Trade implementation and action to promote trade connectivity taken by partner countries, bilateral and multilateral donors, South-South partners, regional economic communities and transport corridors. Results of the M& E exercise will be presented in the next addition of the Aid for Trade "At A Glance" publication, which will be launched during the Aid for Trade Global Review.
