What we do

eTrade for all connects the dots for a more inclusive digital economy.

Unlocking the full potential of digital technologies, while mitigating potential harms, calls for global cooperation across borders, sectors and stakeholders. To fully benefit from the digital transformation, we must work together to bridge the digital divides. eTrade for all advocates for effective and stronger international and multistakeholder collaboration, striving to create a more inclusive and sustainable digital future for all. By engaging stakeholders and pooling capabilities, the collaborative approach of eTrade for all strives to ensure more coherent and cost-effective actions while reducing duplication of efforts.

Partnership in Action

UN Trade & Development eWeek logo
 

eTrade for all partners are an integral and essential part of the UNCTAD eWeeks, which over the years have become an appreciated forum to discuss the development impact of digitalization.

The events, organized every 2 years, benefit from the leading edge research, advocacy, capacity building and networks of eTrade for all partners, all at one place. Together, we provide a favourable environment that fosters meaningful multistakeholder dialogue, in particular through the organization of key thematic sessions. Outcome reports of the eWeek feed other ongoing policy processes at the global and regional levels.

eWeek also serves as the gathering platform where all partners come together to review the progress of the eTrade for all initiative, ensuring our collective efforts continue to make a global impact.
