<p>As we have already made clear, the UK supports the provision of trade-related capacity-building
assistance to developing countries, and the importance of enhancing Aid for Trade
commitments. Language on this is included in the most recent draft goals and targets
list released by the co-chairs of the Open Working Group (OWG) on 2 June.</p><p>Aid
for Trade is a vital ingredient for helping developing countries build their capacity
to trade. The UK spends around £1 billion annually on Aid for Trade, and DFID is working
alongside other donors, multilateral organisations, and recipient countries, to enhance
the effectiveness of Aid for Trade initiatives.</p><p>The final targets in the post-2015
development framework will however be subject to international negotiations in the
United Nations, in which the UK will play an active role.</p><p> </p>
