Some things change, some things stay the same.

Our singular vision over 60 years: See more people improve their lives through trade.

That hasn't changed, except more women and youth are leading the way, with updated tech and techniques.

Small businesses, your success is ours!

Our journey of fostering trade-led growth in developing countries began 60 years ago today!

Supply chain disruptions, climate change, and conflicts are changing how small businesses work, and we are evolving to better serve them.

Meeting the entrepreneurs we support is one of the best parts of our work.

To celebrate our 60th birthday with colleagues, I wore a petrified wood necklace featuring our logo, handcrafted by Shwe Min of Myanmar, who runs Tree Jade.

Small businesses, you inspire us daily!

Happy birthday to us!

Since we opened our doors 60 years ago, we've evolved from a technical assistance agency to an all-round trade-led development agency supporting sustainable development through small business.

Things keep changing. We'll keep adapting to deliver our best.

On #WorldIPDay , flashback to this moment at World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) earlier this year.

Hey Daren, looking forward to doing more together! All about helping small businesses to protect and monetize their intellectual property to grow, trade and support their families.

Some moments change history.

On #RememberSlavery Day, visited the last resting place of Toussaint Louverture, who led the Haitian Revolution and broke the bonds of slavery.

His legacy lives on today.

On the go!

We just launched our global gender-responsive public procurement campaign with UN Women.

Governments source from businesses, like computers for offices or to build a road. It's a $13 trillion market. Just 1% of contracts go to women. Time to change that.

#CSW2024

How it started 🇯🇲 How it’s going 🇺🇳

How it started How it ended

Thanks to Amina J Mohammed for uniting women leaders of the United Nations in the Big Apple!

Lots to do ahead of the Summit of the Future this fall. Yet we have one shared goal: sustainable and inclusive development, leaving no one behind. 🇺🇳

Walking the walk, together.

Through our new fund for women exporters, we're committed to ensuring more women have a role in shaping the future of the global trading system. It's looking more digital, green and inclusive.

Let's do this, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala!

#WTOMC13AbuDhabi

Better together.

With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, we launched the Women Exporters in the Digital Economy Fund.

This is about meeting two core needs of women entrepreneurs: access to finance and skills to take advantage of THE gamechanger in trade – digital tools – to grow their business.

#MC13

Women at the table.

On the eve of #MC13 , sat down with women entrepreneurs to explore how the trading system can better reflect their needs and ideas.

The fact that our SheTrades Summit on empowering women in trade set the scene for the WTO’s highest-level gathering: a win.

Cooking in Colombia, just like cooking at home.

As we celebrate World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture as people of African descent, we may not speak the same language, but our spirits speak to each other through our food and culture.

It is a conversation of the soul.

In my meeting with International Trade Centre (ITC) Executive Director Pamela Coke-Hamilton, we reflected on the SDG Summit and the path forward to meet the ambition of the #SDGs .

Kicking off our 60th year right.

Warm ITC welcome to Amina J Mohammed and her team!

We're committing to Leaving No One Behind, including the smallest and most vulnerable among us, and tackling global challenges together.

Changing trade can change lives for the better.

Young people at decision-making tables.

We love to see it.

Max Andonirina Fontaine 🇲🇬 of Madagascar competed in our youth ecopreneur pitch contest in June.

At 28, he's now one of the youngest ministers in the country's history, leading on environment and sustainable development. Congrats!

As we enter 2024 may we recommit to upholding the fundamental principles of humanity. The right to life, the right to safety, the right to peace, the right to dignity, the right to raise our children in hope and faith for a better tomorrow. May this be our legacy!
