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
