International Trade Centre
The International Trade Centre (ITC) is the technical cooperation agency of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) for operational, enterprise-oriented aspects of trade development.
ITC supports developing and transition economies, and particularly their business sector, in their efforts to realize their full potential for developing exports and improving import operations.
ITC works in six areas:
- Product and market development
- Development of trade support services
- Trade information
- Human resource development
- International purchasing and supply management
- Needs assessment, programme design for trade promotion
ITC's technical assistance concentrates on the three issues for which it believes the need for national capacity-building is most critical: helping businesses understand WTO rules; strengthening enterprise competitiveness; and developing new trade promotion strategies.

Mr. J. Denis Bélisle, ITC's Executive Director, is responsible for the management of ITC. Staff at ITC headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, number approximately 200. Several hundred consultants are assigned to ITC projects in developing countries and economies in transition each year.
