Technical assistance

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Technical assistance comprises expert advise in the areas of trade and development, adopting different modalities in accordance with the type of clients served and the clients’ needs. In the area of International Cooperation, expert assistance, trade capacity building and also training are usually demanded by developing countries governments that aim to specific objectives – for example: preparing their officers to comply with international trade commitments or to optimize the benefits of trade agreements – and are subjects of cooperation funding. Within the European Commission Development and Cooperation Programs (EuropeAid) and USAID, INTEGRAL has performed several activities, mainly of technical assistance to Latin and Central American governments. Through the subscription of side letters with several international consortia and/or by contracts with our Associate Consultants, numerous activities were carried out for European consultant firms, some of which are summarized herewith:
