Description:
This project aims to develop the ability of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and related trade-support institutions in developing countries to pursue export opportunities in Canada. Components of the project specifically targets developing countries with which Canada has negotiated, or is negotiating, free trade agreements in order to help them to benefit from these new agreements. Through SME-led job creation, this project also contributes to reducing poverty in developing countries.
Project activities include: (1) providing Canadian market trade information and online Services by producing information papers, website content with import/export product offers, market entry studies, e-bulletin; (2) providing Canadian market access services and Trade Support Institution capacity building in 25 priority countries through sector specific training on market access to Canada; and (3) providing Canadian market access services for up to 8 of the Least Developed Countries in the garment sector and to trade agreement developing country partners to Canada.

Expected Results:
The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) improved ability of women- and men-led small and medium enterprises (SME) in 40 developing countries to access the Canadian marketplace, generating more than $10 million in new export sales, and much more after the project comes to an end because of the recurring and self-sustaining nature of trade; and (ii) improved ability of trade-support institutions in over 30 countries to help SMEs exporters access the Canadian marketplace.
