the	provision	of	Aid-for-Trade	support	by	development	partners;
how	Aid-for-Trade	support	is	aligned	with	priority	needs;
the	impact	and	outcomes	of	Aid-for-Trade	support;	and	future	needs	for	Aid-for-Trade	support.
Responses	will	be	made	publicly	available	on	the	 WTO/OECD	Aid-for-Trade	website ,	analysed	and
discussed	in	the	next	set	of	Aid	-for-Trade	publications	and	at	the	Global	Review	in	2024.
Respondents	are	encouraged	to	submit	a	"whole	of	government/institution	view",	meaning	that	they
need	to	consult	policy	documents	or	liaise	with	colleagues	in	other	ministries	or	departments	to	reach	a
