Request for Proposal – Regional Trade for Development Program
Event Organisation and Management for an on-site event on RISP Project
“Knowledge Sharing Activity and Research on the Competency Framework of
AANZ’s IP Service Human Resources”
About RT4D
The Regional Trade for Development (RT4D) initiative is funded by both
the Governments of Australia and New Zealand. It assists ASEAN Member
States (AMS) in meeting their commitments and realising the advantages
offered by the Agreement establishing the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand
Free Trade Area, or AANZFTA, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic
Partnership, or RCEP.
Through the AANZFTA Implementation Support Program (AISP) and the RCEP
Implementation Support Program (RISP), RT4D provides tailored support to
enhance the capabilities of ASEAN Member States by strengthening skills,
building networks, facilitating policy options and ensuring that trade
benefits everyone, including Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs),
women and people with disabilities.
Also operating under RT4D is the Trade and Gender Equality Incubator
(TGEI), an initiative funded by the Australian Government. The incubator
tests ideas and methods, drawing on promising examples, that integrate
gender in trade policy, technical cooperation, and development
programming.
The Governments of Australia and New Zealand have committed up to AUD 48.7
million to fund RT4D from 2020-21 to 2027-28.
Project Summary
