'The framework for Aid for Trade has recently been shaped within the WTO Task Force on Aid for Trade. This book is very timely as it deepens and broadens the discussion on how Aid for Trade most effectively can ensure that trade becomes a forceful tool for sustainable development and poverty reduction. It includes a variety of voices and perspectives, also from developing countries, and is highly recommended reading to all preoccupied with the increased participation of developing countries in international trade.' Dr Mia Horn af Rantzien, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Sweden to the WTO, Chair of the WTO Task Force on Aid for Trade
