Abstract

In 2005, the Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) launched the Aid for Trade (AfT) Initiative, with a view of mobilizing higher development aid in order to promote developing countries’ trade. This article assesses whether the WTO has reached its objective, more than 10 years after the launch of this initiative. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 102 developing countries over the period of 2002 to 2016, and various AfT share variables, the empirical analysis has shown that the WTO has genuinely delivered on its promise of mobilizing higher Aid for Trade flows for developing countries.
