The Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT) is an open regional network composed of leading trade research institutions across the United Nations ESCAP (Economic and Social Commission of Asia and the Pacific) region, and supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada. ARTNeT aims at increasing the amount of quality and relevant trade research in the region by harnessing the research capacity already available and developing additional capabilities. The activities of ARTNeT continue to be focused on three pillars, namely: •production of demand-driven and home-grown research of the region; •building of research capacity in the region, particularly that of LDCs; and •dissemination of knowledge and information to key stakeholders. Current members include 40 leading national trade research and academic institutions from almost 20 developing countries from East, South, and Southeast Asia and the Pacific. ==ARTNeT Establishment and Structure== The Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT) was launched in November 2004 with the support of the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the (Trade and Investment Division ) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) which provides both the Secretariat of the network and a direct regional link to trade policymakers and other international organizations. Since its launch, the Network has attracted 40 member research institutions from the developing countries of the region and has gained some additional partners, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). A number of bilateral donors are also providing financial support to the network. For example, the Government of France and the Swiss Agency for Cooperation and Development have provided support for the ARTNeT Greater Mekong Subregion initiative, and the Government of Macao China funded the MARKHUB project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
