What is UNNExT?

The United Nations Network of Experts for Paperless Trade and Transport in Asia and the Pacific (UNNExT) is a community of knowledge and practice for experts from developing countries and transition economies from Asia and the Pacific involved in the implementation of electronic trade systems and trade facilitation. It was established by the UN ESCAP and UNECE in 2009.

Guides and Tools on Trade Facilitation

UNNExT develops guides and training materials to bridge the gap between the standards developers and the “implementers” and emerging experts in developing countries.

Capacity building and knowledge sharing

An important feature of the capacity building and training under UNNExT is that it relies heavily on peer-to-peer support, where experts and practitioners from countries with advanced paperless trade systems transferring their know-how and experience to those in less advanced countries.
