Overview

Description

The Hub and Spokes programme is an innovative Aid for Trade initiative that helps to enhance trade capacity development in the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific regions. Why not join and find out more...

Now in its Consolidation Phase, it is a joint programme of the European Union, the ACP Group Secretariat, the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.

Under the programme, trade advisers - the 'spokes' - strengthen the capacity of government ministries and regional organisations, while regional trade advisers - the 'hubs' - provide similar technical assistance to key regional and national organisations.

The initiative helps participating countries to develop and implement trade policies and agreements that both reflect national priorities and are effective in a global trading system.
