About the E-commerce Branch

Our assignment

The Electronic Commerce Branch of UNCTAD is responsible for implementing the organization's mandate in this field. The mandate is established by the member States at the ministerial Conference, which is held once every four years, and is implemented by the UNCTAD Trade and Development Board (TDB).  The most recent Conference was held in São Paulo, in June 2004.

The Branch conducts analytical work aimed at policy makers and

practitioners in the field of e-commerce, Internet and ICT.  Its activities support the TDB and its Commission on Enterprise, Business Facilitation and Development, and related Expert Meetings.

It also issues a number of publications and organizes seminars and workshops to raise awareness and promote the exchange of experience among e-commerce practitioners and policy makers in developing countries.

Where do we belong in the UNCTAD secretariat structure?

The UNCTAD secretariat has four substantive divisions, of which one is the Division for Services Infrastructure for Development and Trade Efficiency (SITE). The Electronic Commerce Branch is one of three Branches of the SITE Division.

Our expertise

The Branch staff consists of a dozen dedicated professionals with wide experience in trade, legal and financial issues in both the private and public sector domain. Working as a team, the Branch has shown its capacity in dealing with specific as well as cross-sectoral issues.
