Mainstreaming
We aim to empower women in trade policy and governance roles, without creating any divided spaces. We support
inclusive policy-making and governance processes.

We also encourage participants in this program to take part in other tralac training and events alongside the specific
activities in the SheGovernsTrade Development Program. The program will be offered digitally.
Peer learning
While tralac will offer trade technical and professional development training as part of this program, the real
expertise, experience and learning will come from peers in the group. The program will actively support peer
learning and engagement to achieve its objectives. This means each participant must be willing to share their
experiences, and to engage with other participants.
