ARTNeT Strategy
To achieve the long-term goal of enabling government policy makers to more effectively formulate trade policies, ARTNeT has adopted a three-pronged strategy.
- Research
ARTNeT and its members aim to produce high quality research and analysis on trade and investment related issues. Currently in its second phase, the ARTNeT research programme emphasizes the implementation of regional multi-institutions research studies under the following themes: (1) Trade, investment, and domestic policy coherence for inclusive growth, (2) Trade Facilitation (TF) and Development of Related Services Sectors, and (3) Multilateral Trade Liberalization and Regional integration.
- Dissemination
ARTNeT research as well as members’ research is disseminated through various means, including a dedicated website, an online regional database of trade-related publications, a working paper and a policy brief series, a newsletter and other publications. ARTNeT's thematic consultative meetings provide both the research institutions and policy makers with an opportunity to exchange information, and data, share ideas, and review and refine research findings and recommendations.
- Capacity Building
As many of the countries in the region have yet to evolve trade-related research programmes, ARTNeT strives to build research capacity in the region, particularly in least developed countries. This is done through implementation of regional team-based research studies, research grants to junior researchers from least developed countries, organization of technical training workshops for trade research, and visiting fellowships to academic institutions.
