Trade-related support for LDCs

The international community has committed to supporting the goal of integrating the LDCs into the multilateral trading system and increasing their participation in world markets. SDGs 10.a, 17.11 and 17.12 reflect this commitment.

Trade-related international support measures (ISMs) for LDCs include preferential market access for goods, preferential market access for services and service suppliers, special treatment regarding obligations under WTO rules and certain regional agreements, and technical assistance and capacity-building.
