Lot Information
Lot 1
The new UK Trade Centre of Expertise (CoE) is being established by the FCDO Trade for Development team. The CoE will act as a central programme that supports HMG-wide Aid for Trade efforts to drive inclusive, pro-poor trade in developing countries. The Trade COE aims to increase trade from and between developing countries in order to drive export-led growth which reduces poverty and increases people's resilience to climate change. It will provide technical assistance to governments and businesses in developing countries and in multilateral fora to enable them to overcome the barriers to trade, to compete in global markets and to make the global trade rules work for developing countries. It will provide world-class expertise on trade to Posts that is responsive, flexible and value for money and is accompanied by a separate Trade COE Evidence and Innovation programme. A combination of Accountable Grants, MOU's and Commercial Contracts are envisaged to deliver the CoE as a whole, split into different components.
