## Improving trade outcomes for workers and underserved communities through research and dialogue

To be truly inclusive, trade must actively work for all sections of society. This involves ensuring access to trade benefits and the mitigation of harms to workers and underserved groups, including Indigenous Peoples. The Inclusive Trade project brings together multi-stakeholder communities to realize this vision. It furthers research and dialogue and informs trade policymaking and supply chain practices.

## Our objectives


### Identify trends and inform policy discussions

The policy landscape is rapidly evolving. Through multistakeholder research we analyse trends and identify and share best practices and policy recommendations.


### Provide a platform for dialogue and coordination

Discussions about Inclusive Trade involve multiple actors and cut across policy areas. Through our activities, we offer a space to test innovative approaches in a non-negotiating setting.


### Build partnerships to develop a positive agenda

Enhancing interactions between policy communities is key to a more inclusive trading system. We foster a positive Inclusive Trade agenda through collaborative approaches and initiatives.
