Grant Description

In 2016, the Chinese Government pledged to contribute USD $200 million to the United Nations over a ten year period.

The United Nations Peace and Development Trust Fund (UNPDF) was established to channel these earmarked funds to specific projects in coordination with the UN.

The UNPDF is divided into two sub-funds: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Sub-Fund and The Secretary-General's Peace and Security Sub-Fund.

Approved in 2017 and implemented between March 2018 and December 2021, USD $498,620 was allocated from the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Sub-Fund to integrate landlocked commodity-dependent developing countries into regional and global supply chains. The countries involved in the project were Ethiopia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan.

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development implemented the project alongside the United Nations (UN) as a whole, the EU, Hivos, Energia, and Itaipu.

The project aimed to enhance the countries' capacities in policy development to promote better economic integration and help develop linkages at national and regional levels.

In total, 166 participants took part in training events, and participation in all events amounted to more than 400 stakeholders, including exporters and importers/buyers, and senior policymakers.
