The objective of the two-day Round Table is to contribute to the development of export promotion strategies and plans in Eastern Europe and Central Asia through an analysis of experiences in the region as well as other countries.
This expert meeting is intended to explore the following key questions:
- What policies and programs have been put in place to promote exports in different countries?
- What are the resources needed and what have been the constraints to policy implementation?
- What are the roles and responsibilities of the different government agencies in export promotion? How is work organized within the key institutions?
- How is the interaction with the private sector organized, and what is the mode of coordinating public and private sector efforts to enter new markets or expand the existing ones?
- How effective are the different export promotion instruments (for example, market intelligence, selecting target markets, building export readiness/support to meeting market requirements, identifying opportunities for marketable commodities/food, marketing/promotion actions, building partnerships with importers, closing export deals)?
- What have been the impacts of targeted export promotion programs and what are the lessons learned?
For detailed information see the presentations and recommendations.
