At Global Trade Integration: Connecting Poor Communities, we bridge the gap between overlooked trade data and actionable insights, helping decision-makers make informed decisions. Our approach is built on four key pillars:
Mining Global Trade Data
We identify a selection of around 300 commodities that poor communities are capable of producing and trading glabally. We extract critical trends and hidden patterns from international trade data of these commodities to identify opportunities and risks that traditional reports may overlook.
Revealing hidden trade insights
Our researchers transform these findings into actionable trade insights tailored to support mission-aligned stakeholders such as governments, international organizations, universities, NGOs, media, and socially responsible businesses working to integrate and empower poor communities in global trade.
Empowering Policymakers for trade development
We support mission-aligned stakeholders with tailored trade strategies designed to advance the participation of developing countries in global markets. These strategies are grounded in real-world trade data and adapted to local contexts, helping partners make informed policy decisions that drive inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
Advocating for Inclusive Trade
We use our research to advocate for inclusive trade policies that promote the integration of poor communities into the global economy. Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of international trade are equitably distributed and reach those who need them most.
