International trade is now widely acknowledged as an important engine of growth in most developing and transition economies. The recent ministerial meetings of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have further demonstrated the importance of international trade and investment flows, with many developing economies joining hands to vigorously defend their interests in this area.

The course is targeted to professionals, and government officials that look to continue their skills building and networking; in a flexible cost effective training environment.  UNITAR strives to provide high quality e-learning training content, with interactive discussion forums and individual assessments that generate an optimal  e-learning environment.

The key question this course will address is: How can the public and private sector work together to facilitate the flow of international trade and investment which fuels growth and economic development? The participant will also be able to distinguish between structured trade and the financing of commodities. Recognize the role of international trade in the growth of most developing and transition economies, among other learning objectives that should be achieved with the successful completion of the course.

The course dates are: 28th June to 6th August 2010.
