See the projectGlobal Alliance for Trade Facilitation
A public-private partnership for trade-led growth
Our first project delivers results in Colombia
We worked with Colombia’s National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute (Invima) and business to introduce a risk management system (RMS), IVC SOA Puertos®, that can facilitate trade while protecting public health. In the RMS’ first 18 months of operation, Invima cut its average rate of physical inspections of food and beverages by 30% delivering USD 8.8M in savings for importers alone.

What we do
We are on a mission to make international trade simple, fast and cost-effective, creating new business opportunities, enabling greater economic and social development and reducing poverty.
The Alliance brings together governments and businesses as equal partners to address delays and unnecessary red-tape at borders and design and deploy targeted reforms that deliver commercially quantifiable results.
Our work helps governments in developing and least developed countries implement the World Trade Organization’s Trade Facilitation Agreement.
