The debate on the linkages between trade,
development and poverty reduction has received increased
attention in the last years. Their complex dynamics have
been well established in the economic literature, showing
that trade policy affects poverty in manifold ways through
its effects on economic growth and income distribution.
Yet, despite the existence of theoretical literature on
the linkages between trade, development and poverty reduction,
insufficient empirical evidence exists to prove the robustness
of this linkage.
Moreover, the relationship between trade
and growth and trade and poverty is predominantly envisaged
through an export-led growth strategy, following the theory

growth and a key factor for sustained poverty reduction.

Trade-Development-Poverty Linkages: Reflections
from Selected Asian and Sub-Saharan African
Countries – Volume II - Sector Case Studies
Following up on the country case studies published
in the first volume, the sectoral case studies
of this volume provide an insight into the effects
produced by trade liberalisation in select sectors
in project countries. The sectoral studies conducted
in the 13 TDP countries identify the factors
that need to accompany trade openness for it
to become an engine of economic development
and poverty alleviation. The findings reflect
the need for fair and balanced rules in the
multilateral trading system for ensuring sustainable
and inclusive development in the countries of
the South.
