International Trade Centre is the joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations that supports sustainable and inclusive trade in developing and emerging economies. Its aim is for businesses in developing countries to become more competitive in global markets, speeding economic development, and contributing to the achievement of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals. ITC's mission is to foster sustainable economic development and contribute to achieving the Millennium Development Goals in developing countries and transition economies through trade and international business development and to enable small-business export success by connecting small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries and transition economies to the global trading system. ITC gives particular weight to project implementation in the least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing states, and sub-Saharan Africa.
