SOUTH-SOUTH PARTNER QUESTIONNAIRE

This South-South partner questionnaire is separated into 6 sections which examine the following themes

- Changes to your government's/organization's trade-related strategy since 2012 and the outlook for future support;

- How important are trade costs for trade expansion and economic development, and how is this issue addressed in your trade-related strategy and programming;

- If and how you plan to factor implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement, when adopted, into future trade-related support;

- If, and how, your government/organization is pursuing private sector development within the context of its trade-related cooperation activities;

- Results achieved in terms of reducing trade costs and how they fit within broader development effectiveness efforts; and

- The impact of the Aid-for-Trade Initiative since its launch and its potential future contribution to the post-2015 development agenda.

Some of the questions are phrased so as to allow comparisons with your answers to previous monitoring exercises. If you do not have a record of previous answers, you can access them online at http://www.oecd.org/aidfortrade/self-assessments.htm
