Data Protection and Privacy
The personal data of participants applying for, registering for or participating in UNITAR's training courses and other events is governed by the Data Protection and Privacy Policy. By applying for, registering for or participating in this event, the participant acknowledges that he or she is, (or they are) aware of the policy and agree to its terms.

Join us on 3-day Training in Geneva, Switzerland on  Trade, Investment and Business Facilitation (TIBF) and visit International Organizations and Institutions working on Trade, Investment and Business Facilitation.

The simplification and harmonisation of the rules, procedures and practices that apply to international trade, investment and business are essential to reducing costs and improving the efficient flow of goods, services, persons, technology, capital, standards, and knowhow across jurisdictions. Under the overarching concept of ‘facilitation’ there are numerous governments, institutions and businesses dedicated to the task, building on decades-long research and development. The time has arrived to approach trade, investment and business facilitation in a holistic manner, to the special benefit of micro, small and medium enterprises of Least Developed and developing countries.

The overall goal of the programme is to raise awareness on the tools and mechanisms available in this sector and to promote their adoption and use, particularly the operation of single window facilities. Notable among them is the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation, which entered into force on 22 February 2017, as well as the application of its varied disciplines to member countries.

At the end of the workshop, Participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the main trade, investment and business facilitation concepts, components, initiatives, requirements, and options;
  2. Understand the strategic importance of facilitation as a socioeconomic development tool; and
  3. Explain the state-of-the-art projects currently under discussion, like Facilitation 2.0 and Trade Policy 3.0.

The pedagogy - adapted adult learning - will help train participants through various experiences including interactive presentations, group discussions, role-playing, exparience sharing, and exposure to real world problems and challenges.

Recommended for trade and investment officials and practitioners from ministries of trade, planning and finance, central banks, and public administration in general; national and regional training / education institutions and think tanks; micro, small and medium enterprises as well as the trading, investment and business communities at large.
