REPORT BY THE U.S.



General Accounting Office


The Growing Role Of Trade As A

Development Assistance Mechanism


GAO has reviewed how four developing coun-
tries use trade in their economic development,
and how bilateral and multilateral donors as-
sist developing countries in the area of trade.
Developing countries increasingly depend on
expanding trade--particularly with developed
countries--to assist in their economic growth.
GAO found that in the four countries it re-
viewed--Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and
the Philippines--similar internal and external
obstacles to increasing trade exist.

Although the responsibility for trade devel-
opment rests primarily with the developing
countries, developed-country governments as-
sist developing countries bilaterally and multi-
laterally in their efforts to increase exports.

During its review, GAO noted several bilateral
and multilateral mechanisms for furnishing
trade assistance to developing countries.
GAO's report is intended to help the U.S.
development assistance community in its
search for new mechanisms to furnish such
assistance.
