USAID TradeMap &
Product Map Launched In Bangladesh:
The official launch of The TradeMap USAID in Bangladesh was held on
April 7, 2004 at the American International University Auditorium.
The event was hosted by Mr. Allen Fleming, Director of the USAID
Bangladesh Office of Economic Growth, Food and Environment and Mr.
Imran Shauket, Project Director, JOBS Project. Mr. Fleming
officially launched the tools in that occasion. Mr. Stephan Blanc,
Senior Market Analyst at the International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO
in Geneva, outlined the importance of market analysis in a fast
moving trading environment where the emergence of new competitors,
changes in market access conditions and the need for product and
market diversification are challenges that need to be addressed by
Bangladesh’ entrepreneurs. This message was conveyed to
representatives of trade support institutions, chambers of commerce
and entrepreneurs attending the official launch of the TradeMap
USAID and Product Map market analysis tools now available in
Bangladesh. A workshop organized by JOBS held on 8 and 9 March,
where 25 representatives of local trade support institutions were
trained on the effective utilization of these tools. |
