National Trade Facilitation Committees (NTFCs) are platforms conceived to coordinate interagency work in trade reform and facilitation. However, a great number of them lack the appropriate structure or capacity to be successful in fulfilling their long-term goals.
This discussion centers around the findings from CIPE partner Edna Ramirez-Robles’ upcoming research paper, Efficient Private Sector Participation in NTFCs. The discussion will examine effective institutional practices that enable NTFCs to play a vital role in fostering policy dialogue.
Webinar attendees will learn how these bodies can support trade expansion and economic growth through public-private partnerships, stakeholder engagement, information exchange, capacity building, and international cooperation.
