ABOUT TRADE PROJECT

Trade Reform and Development in Egypt (TRADE) Activity is a five-year project (2021-2026) funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that aims to increase Egypt’s international trade by boosting exports from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by $225 million over the next five years. To achieve its objectives USAID TRADE partners with private sector stakeholders as well government agencies, including the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the National Food Safety Authority, to increase Egyptian exports in six sectors: engineering products, food processing, home textiles, ready-made garments, chemicals, and building materials. The project also helps to reduce trade and investment barriers and strengthens the trade support institutions, such as trade associations and Export Councils, that will enhance the export capacity of SMEs. The USAID TRADE – GoGlobal partnership contributes to the project’s sustainability efforts as GoGlobal aims to position itself as a major player and ongoing force connecting SME exporters with service providers.
