GNTP will be working with ODI in the UK, CIES in Peru, Nitlapán in Nicaragua, and CIPPEC in Argentina on a two year trade and poverty programme which launches today. How can trade and trade-related policies be used to harness the potential of trade for poor people in Bolivia? How can the negative impacts of trade be minimised? How can dialogue on trade policy and poverty between policymakers and those who represent the poor be improved? These are the questions the programme seeks to answer.
