WTO Chairs Programme
The WTO Chairs Programme (WCP) aims to enhance people’s knowledge and understanding of the multilateral trading system by awarding research Chairs to selected universities and/or research institutions in developing and least-developed countries. In 2014, Prof Wilma Viviers, director of the TRADE (Trade and Development) research focus area at the North-West University, was awarded a WTO Chair (one of seven recipients worldwide to receive the honour that year), heralding the start of a four-year international partnership that is built on three pillars: curriculum development, research and outreach. Included in the WCP package are technical and financial support from the WTO, as well as access to a prestigious global network.
Find out more about the World Trade Organisation, the WTO Chairs Programme and TRADE's activities in each of the three WTO Chairs Programme pillars.
