About us

Focused, Measured, Agile

The Alliance supports low and middle-income countries in streamlining trade-related processes to move goods across their borders as quickly, safely, and cost-effectively as possible.

The Alliance is the only Aid for Trade initiative that explicitly pursues a public-private partnership approach to trade reform, believing that governments and businesses of all sizes working together represents the best way of delivering transformative, positive change.
