19. Strengthening the Linkages between Trade, Development and Poverty
    Reduction

While implementing the project linkages between trade, development and poverty reduction different key themes have been garnered from the case studies and the research work. The advocacy document is directed towards policy-makers, civil society organisations (CSOs) and other stakeholders. It contains seven key messages, which are as follows:

• Strengthen Labour Intensive Sectors;

• Ensure that the Benefits of Growth Work Against Inequalities;

• Strengthen Domestic Policies;

• Demand for Government Policies Promoting Human Development through Trade;

• Consider the Importance of Economic Integration and Spillovers for the Poor;

• Work with a Realistic Market Analysis; and

• Establish Strong Partnerships between Relevant Stakeholders.

It is strongly hoped that these key messages will be utilised for further research and enhanced dialogue. Ultimately, this document aims to influence a policy shift amongst trade ministries to incorporate a more development-oriented foreign trade policy.

25. Improving Labour Standards through Development: A Positive Agenda (2004)

The objective of this paper is to advocate against the inclusion of a social cause – sanctions on trade in response to violations of labour standards. This paper has argued that poverty reduction should be the foremost way of improving core labour standards. The achievement of higher economic growth, along with adequate distributive mechanisms and safety nets, will raise per capita incomes and thus ultimately lead to the institution of pro-active social policies, as a result improving the conditions of work and workers’ rights significantly. The focus, therefore, should be on education, health and infrastructure.
