Training on Developing National Export Strategies
Course Overview
Strong export performance is a key driver of economic growth, job creation, foreign exchange earnings, and long-term resilience. Governments increasingly recognize the need to diversify exports, move up value chains, and strengthen competitiveness in global markets. However, achieving these goals requires more than isolated trade promotion initiatives.
Without a coherent national export strategy, efforts often become fragmented. Institutions may operate in silos, priority sectors lack coordinated support, and exporters face persistent barriers related to infrastructure, standards, logistics, finance, and regulatory frameworks. A well-designed national export strategy aligns public and private stakeholders around clear priorities, actionable reforms, and measurable targets.
This course guides participants through the full lifecycle of developing and implementing a national export strategy. Participants will learn how to analyze export performance data, identify high-potential sectors, conduct competitiveness assessments, design policy and institutional reforms, mobilize stakeholder engagement, and establish monitoring and evaluation systems. Through practical exercises, case studies, and structured planning tools, participants will develop realistic, evidence-based export roadmaps that support sustainable and inclusive trade growth.
