UNCTAD provides an intensive dedicated professional capacity building programme for the members of national trade facilitation committees (NTFCs) and their Secretariats. The main objective is to empower NTFCs to successfully undertake their mandate to implement, in a coordinated manner, trade facilitation reforms, including the provisions of the World Trade Organization Trade Facilitation Agreement. Successful and efficient NTFCs will help countries streamline their international trade. Upon successful completion of the UNCTAD programme, committees and its members will be granted graduation certificates.
