Inclusive Trade

PACER Plus is working to ensure that trade benefits everyone, including women, youth, people with disabilities, and those in remote communities. PACER Plus is supporting Pacific countries to design and implement trade initiatives that are inclusive and accessible. This includes targeted training, technical assistance, and opportunities that empower underrepresented groups to participate in and benefit from trade.

By removing barriers and addressing inequalities, PACER Plus is helping to create a more fair and inclusive trading environment — one that supports sustainable development and leaves no one behind in the Pacific.
