Aid for Trade and Development Results
A Management Framework
This study presents a tool to help design logical frameworks for results-based management of aid for trade. What are donors and partner countries trying to achieve? Three different levels of possible objectives (i.e. direct, intermediate and final) are explored. Trade is treated as an intermediate objective, serving as a transmission mechanism, with an increase in the value for trade as the final objective. Six case studies - Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, Rwanda, Solomon Islands and Viet Nam - provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges involved in introducing a tool for managing results in an agenda that covers a broad area of interventions that are aimed at building trade-related supply side capacities.

Foreword and Acknowledgements
History has shown that openness to trade is a key ingredient for economic success and for improving living standards. By connecting local producers to domestic, regional and global markets, trade helps enhance the productive capacity of the entire economy and ?? depending on the pace and pattern of this growth process ?? reduce poverty. It facilitates the availability of technology, know-how and other services. It helps to make goods cheaper and more widely available. It also weakens the grip of local or regional monopolies.
