Trade Knowledge Network Brochure

By David A Boyer on December 6, 2005

Since its launch in 1997, the goal of the Trade Knowledge Network (TKN) has been to foster long-term capacity to incorporate sustainable development in national, bilateral, regional and multilateral trade policy and practice. The TKN seeks to achieve this through increased awareness, policy research and dialogue in and among developing country governments; policy and research institutions; non-governmental organizations; and multilateral policy institutions. This brochure was distributed initially in the fall of 2005 in connection with the WTO Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong.
