As part of the initiative, UNCTAD works with Governments of developing countries and key stakeholders to improve their digital economy capabilities through the eTrade Readiness Assessments (eT Readies). The eT Readies analyse the digital and e-commerce ecosystems of beneficiary countries and provides policy recommendations based on the challenges and opportunities for e-commerce development identified across the seven policy areas. To operationalize those recommendations, UNCTAD established an Implementation Support Mechanism (ISM) in 2020. Through the ISM, UNCTAD has been increasing in-country coordination support and building national capacities to ensure more efficient and effective implementation of e-commerce policies and initiatives.
