good governance and the concept of electronic single window for international trade
This talk introduces the concept of single window for export-import clearance as an instrument for good governance. Through unified filing of trade data by government agencies, the single window increases transparency and helps reduce corruption, inefficiency and unfair practices in foreign trade. However, its implementation requires collaboration to harmonize national approaches to Electronic Governance. The talk presents examples of such collaborations and discusses the role of UNECE and generally UN Regional Commissions to the development of Electronic Governance around the world.
