On 3 October 2024, UNCTAD, in collaboration with the World Trade Organization (WTO), held a WTO TBT Notification Training at the Lamana Hotel in Port Moresby. Organized with the support of the Papua New Guinea National Trade Office (NTO) and the National Institute of Standards & Industrial Technology (NISIT), the workshop aimed to enhance the capacity of government officials in fulfilling transparency obligations under the WTO and other trade agreements, such as the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Participants also received an introduction to the E-ping system and learned how to submit notifications.

This workshop was organized under the Improving Pacific Islands Customs and Trade (IMPACT) project, funded by the European Union.
