Ukraine National Export Strategy

Summary

Through the development of 5 sector strategies and 4 cross-sector strategies to complement the STDR, this initiative seeks to bring about a concerted national vision on how to enhance Ukraine’s trade competitiveness, particularly for SMEs and a coherent strategic framework for trade development. The project will also facilitate implementation efforts which are key to introducing real change. The anticipated results of the intervention also include a reinforced local capacity to design and update the National Export Strategy by Ukrainian authorities and stakeholders in the future.

The ultimate goal is to help revitalize Ukraine’s trade sector, particularly the country’s SMEs, with a view to better integrating Ukraine into the multilateral trading system, strengthening Ukrainian SMEs competitiveness and allowing them to take full advantage of new preferential markets access, in particular to the EU.
