The globalisation under the frame work of WTO has brought about plethora of changes in the arena of international trade. In order to retain the competitiveness of the Indian industry and sustain in the global competition and also to formulate strategies at selected product/ sector level, there is a need to enhance the understanding of the trade negotiators and the policy makers as well as the stakeholders of the industry. So, in order to facilitate and support this capacity building, The Government of India, The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and Department For International Development (DFID/UK) are jointly implementing a five-year programme, “Strategies and Preparedness for Trade and Globalisation in India”. The Component-I of the project is assisting the negotiators and policy makers in enhancing the understanding of the development and pro-poor dimension of key trade issues relating to the Doha work programme. On the other hand, the Component-II of the programme intends to strengthen the human and institutional capacities of the stakeholders. The activities under both these components are interlinked since Component-I activities such as research and analysis of negotiating issues are disseminated to the stakeholders and the responses are fed back to the negotiators, under the Component-II activity.
