Mission
Statement
IDEAS
Centre is an independent, non-profit
organization dedicated to helping low-income countries
to integrate into the world trading system - in a way
that supports their national poverty reduction and economic
development efforts.
The
Centre offers practical, results-oriented advisory services
and executes projects aimed at strengthening the capacities
of developing/transition country governments to shape
both their domestic economic policies as well as the
international policies that affect them.
The
overall goal of the Centre’s projects is to empower
low-income countries:
by using their WTO membership (or accession process)
in a way that promotes their country’s sustainable
human development; deepening their understanding of
development challenges and linkages with trade and WTO
rules; and improving policy coherence;
by participating more effectively in international trade
forums and negotiations and by harnessing the free market
forces and rules of a liberal world trade system to
achieve poverty alleviation and economic growth.
Through
its projects supporting developing country participation
in the WTO and facilitating the integration of development-related
concerns into industrial country positions, the Centre
wants to contribute to international discussions on
WTO institutional reforms and to encourage global cooperation
for “win-win” solutions on the trade and
development interface.

services and consultancy.
