The following is excerpted from a 31 October 2012 news item by the World Trade Organization.
The Government of Norway has disbursed NOK 19.5 million to the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), a programme that works to contribute to poverty reduction in least-developed countries (LDCs) by helping them to integrate into the global trading economy.
Norway’s commitment in creating a more equitable and just global trading environment is reaffirmed by its investment in enhancing trading capacity in LDCs. As one of the 23 donors to the EIF multi-donor Trust Fund, Norway’s contribution further champions sustainable trade, development and poverty alleviation in LDCs, which remains imperative in the context of the global economic outlook.
