    The United States collects data on its aid for trade and trade capacity building activities annually by surveying government agencies and loading the information into a publicly available database. This data includes programs by country or region and category and shows over $6.5 billion provided since 1999. Aid for trade and trade capacity building are defined as core World Trade Organization activities plus physical infrastructure development. The data is used for discussions with trade partners, internal coordination, identifying gaps, and congressional budgeting. Going forward, the goal is to integrate aid for trade data collection into regular development reporting while maintaining detail.

    United States
    Elena Bryan Deputy Assistant USTR for Trade Capacity Building

    Collecting Data on TCB


    What we collect How we collect it How we use it Looking forward

    What we collect How we collect it


    +USAID annually surveys all USG agencies conducting A4T/TCB activities
    +Agencies report programs, by country or region and by TCB category +Information loaded into publicly available database

    http://qesdb.usaid.gov/tcb
    +USG has provided more than $6.5 billion in A4T/TCB since 1999

    How we define Aid for Trade


    + A4T and Trade Capacity Building (TCB) are used interchangeably + Core TCB activities as defined in the WTO/OECD database + Plus Physical Infrastructure Development:
    --Physical Infrastructure Development is assistance to establish trade-related telecoms, transport, ports, airports, power, water, and industrial zones.

    How we use the data we collect


    + In discussions with trading partners ---Including cotton and trade facilitation + Internal coherence and coordination +Identification of gaps and better targeting of assistance + With Congress, including in the budget process

    Looking Forward
    + Stovepipe data collection is expensive, cumbersome, and duplicative + Mainstream A4T/TCB data collection into regular development assistance collection activity and reporting + Challenge is keeping the detail
