    <description>This grant represents Canada’s institutional support to the International Trade Centre (ITC) , the technical co-operation agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.  The ITC's mandate is to support sustainable and inclusive trade promotion and export development within the global economy. It seeks to enable businesses in developing countries to increase exports, and helps developing countries and economies in transition to improve the use of trade as a tool for development.  The ITC provides assistance by making policy environments friendlier for export business, by strengthening the institutions that provide support to exporters, and by assisting small export enterprises and communities to reach global markets with products and services.
