grant Background
About the Funding Agency
The World Trade Organization (WTO) was founded in 1995 in Geneva, Switzerland and its main goal is to liberalize and regulate international trade and manage political relations between 164 member states.
The WTO is responsible for drafting and implementing new trade agreements and oversees members' compliance with all the agreements signed by most countries in the world and ratified by their parliaments. The WTO rules regulate trade and economic issues as well as providing a number of benefits for developing countries. According to the declaration, the work of the WTO, similar to GATT beforehand, is based on basic principles including equal rights, transparency, creation of active obligations and safety valves. The WTO can resolve disputes and reduce trade tensions, stimulate economic growth and employment, cut living costs and improve living standards, encourage good governance, help countries develop, support the environment and health and contribute to peace and stability. The WTO pays special attention to developing countries by meeting their special needs in various ways – the WTO Secretariat provides technical assistance, the WTO agreements contain special provisions for developing countries and the Committee on Trade and Development focuses its work in this area. The least-developed countries also receive extra assistance from the WTO.
WTO key sectors: International Trade, Economic Development, Good Governance, Technical Cooperation, Electronic Commerce, Investment, Labour Standards, Environment, etc.

Locations
Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s infrastructure base remains severely underdeveloped after decades of conflict, with major gaps in transport, electricity generation and water systems. Connectivity projects linking Central and South Asia have been viewed as potential drivers of trade and economic stabilisation. However, limited fiscal space, sanctions-related financial isolation and weak institutional capacity significantly constrain infrastructure financing and private investment. Sustainable development will depend on improved governance frameworks, regional cooperation and gradual restoration of investor confidence.

Albania
Albania focuses on road modernization, rail upgrades, port expansion, and energy infrastructure to improve regional integration and support economic growth. EU cohesion and pre-accession funds are a major source of infrastructure financing. Investments aim to strengthen trade links with neighboring countries and enhance tourism accessibility. Governance reforms, fiscal capacity, and project implementation efficiency remain critical challenges.
