Objectives :

The overall objectives of the Trade Needs Assessment (TNA) are to assist Lebanon :

to mainstream trade matters in its development policy and strategy
to benefit more from trade
to participate more effectively in the multilateral and regional trading system
to facilitate donor co-ordination and catalyse additional funding in the trade area.

The specific objectives of the TNA are :

to summarise and analyse the main constraints for Lebanon to benefit from trade
to comprehensively articulate its needs in the area of TRA to facilitate more systematic engagement of different stakeholders
to outline a prioritised action plan towards removing the constraints
to identify appropriate linkages to agricultural development
to identify specific actions to be part of a trade-related assistance programme, by assisting the government incorporation of poverty and gender issues in TRA and its action plans.
to increase awareness and understanding in the area of TRA through broad consultations throughout the assignment.

Beneficiaries :

The government of Lebanon particularly those bodies involved in trade policy making and implementation, non-state actors involved in trade matters and the international or bilateral development agencies involved in trade related assistance.

Outputs :

The identification of all the constraints that Lebanon is facing in participating in the world trading system.
A proposed strategy to overcome these constraints, taking into account that its objectives and results must have an orientation to Development, i. e, aligned with Lebanese poverty reduction measures.
A set of recommendations on how to integrate poverty reduction measures into a national development strategy.
