White Paper on encouraging Private Sector Participation in National Trade Facilitation Bodies

This white paper evaluates practices and solutions to strengthen private sector participation in National Trade Facilitation Bodies (NTFBs), to make them more effective and to strengthen the impact of NTFBs on trade facilitation reforms. Public-private dialogue is vital for trade facilitation as it ensures a service-centered approach and collaboration. NTFBs should therefore strive to get meaningful contribution and commitment from relevant private stakeholders.
