47/ Standards and Trade Development Facility launches 2019 Annual Report
11 June 2020
The Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) launched on 11 June its 2019 Annual Report. The report, “Facing the future: shaping safe trade outcomes for developing countries”, highlights how STDF champions the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and responds to emerging needs.
Case stories and infographics in the report capture the results and lessons from STDF’s global activities, including donor-financed projects ranging from transforming agriculture to investing in technologies to facilitate business across borders. The report shares how STDF has helped to generate jobs, raise incomes and protect livelihoods, with 71 per cent of funding assisting least-developed and other low-income countries in 2019.
Since pests and diseases can all too easily spread worldwide, promoting plant and animal health and food safety across supply chains is more important than ever. The report shows how STDF is building multi-stakeholder activities, investing in safe trade systems and increasing assistance for developing countries. This will also help to support economic recovery.
