UNCTAD's High Impact Initiative dialogue to be held during the UN General Assembly in September.

The event is devoted to a high-level exchange of views on the comprehensive approach to development - Transforming4Trade - through the design and implementation of holistic programmes for structural economic transformation. The key objective is to re-orient development policies and global partnerships towards new generation policies centered on the fostering of productive capacities, as the surest way to build socioeconomic resilience to internal and external shocks. The event will be an opportunity to share success stories from the piloting of the approach in Angola, as well as operational and policy lessons learned from the development of similar programmes in Africa and other world regions.
