TRACE designs and delivers targeted, evidence-based training programs that strengthen both institutional and human capacities across the trade ecosystem. Our programs are tailored to help government agencies, private sector actors, and service providers acquire the technical knowledge, managerial competencies, and analytical tools needed to function effectively in today’s technology-driven trade and business environment. Our training philosophy goes beyond classroom instruction, it emphasizes hands-on learning, peer exchange, and applied problem-solving. By bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and practitioners, TRACE promotes professional development that bridges policy, practice, and technology, ensuring participants can directly apply what they learn to their operational realities. We believe that meaningful capacity building drives systemic change. From modernizing customs procedures and improving laboratory quality systems to enhancing inter-agency coordination and digital readiness, TRACE’s initiatives foster institutional resilience and continuous improvement. Our programs are designed to help organizations internalize global best practices and sustain reform outcomes long after project completion.
