In the fall of 2015, Nextrade performed an independent evaluation of project Restoring Multilateral Trade Cooperation supported by the World Bank’s Development Grant Facility and formally launched by the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) and various partner institutions at the first advisory board meeting on the margins of the WTO Ministerial in Bali in 2013.

 

The overarching purpose of the project was to stimulate, through roundtables and dissemination events, greater engagement and dialogue among emerging market policymakers, business leaders, and researchers on ways that the multilateral trading system could advance these economies’ interests. Nextrade CEO joined project dissemination events in Geneva and Johannesburg.
