ITC Executive Director Pamela Coke-Hamilton and H.E. Ambassador Noel White, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the United Nations and other International Organizations at Geneva<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

A new grant agreement reconfirms the long-standing partnership between the International Trade Centre, a United Nations agency, and the Government of Ireland to foster inclusive and sustainable trade<\/h3>\n

(Geneva) \u2013 Ireland has committed \u20ac1 million to support the International Trade Centre (ITC) throughout 2023.<\/p>\n

ITC Executive Director Pamela Coke-Hamilton and H.E. Ambassador Noel White, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the United Nations and other International Organizations at Geneva, today signed the grant agreement at ITC in Geneva.<\/p>\n

The funds provide flexibility and predictability for ITC to implement its Operational Plan 2023 and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The agreement reaffirms the alignment of ITC and Ireland’s development priorities by focusing on enhancing the competitiveness of small businesses, addressing global peace and prosperity, and prioritizing the needs of the most vulnerable in least developed countries.<\/p>\n

\u2018This contribution reflects the importance Ireland attaches to the work of ITC and our ongoing commitment to a positive partnership. Our policy for international development seeks to put the \u2018furthest behind first\u2019. Through our partnership with ITC, we are helping developing countries, including least developed countries, to meet the challenges of the \u2018four Cs\u2019 of COVID, climate, conflict and cost-of-living<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n

H.E. Ambassador Noel White, Permanent Representative of Ireland to the United Nations and other International Organizations at Geneva<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Ireland is a reliable, long-term partner of ITC, and we are grateful for our continuing collaboration. Together, we\u2019re supporting key players in the global economy \u2013 small businesses in developing countries \u2013 to navigate crises and changes in the trading landscape. The flexible core financing provided by Ireland allows us to quickly respond to the needs of our clients so they can play a role in inclusive and sustainable trade-led development<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n
