Abstract

In a panel discussion on the post-2015 development agenda at the 4th Global Review of Aid for Trade in Geneva, the Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Mr. Carlos Lopes has told Global leaders that despite signs of improvements, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) remain, overall “unfinished business.” The panel discussion had as its main focus, monitoring and evaluation for assessing the contribution of aid to boost the trade capacities of developing countries and thus helping them connect to global value chains.
