DONOR QUESTIONNAIRE

This Donor questionnaire is separated into 6 sections that examine the following themes:

- Changes to your government's/organization’s Aid-for-Trade strategy since 2012 and the outlook for future support;

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

- How your government/organization plans to mainstream implementation of the Trade Facilitation Agreement, when adopted, into future Aid-for-Trade support;

- How your government/organization is pursuing private sector development within the context of its Aid-for-Trade strategy;

- Does your government/organization have evidence showing that Aid for Trade is contributing to lowering trade costs, and that this is promoting economic development;

- 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/selfassessments.htm
