Conclusions
Disparities across sub-regions in TF
But many countries actively moving beyond WTO TFA implementation towards paperless trade amp cross-border
paperless trade but more needs to be done
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda ndash SMEs agriculture women
UNECE provides key recommendations and standards and is developing projects to ensure progress can be made in
an inclusive manner
Need for deeper analysis of country results
