ELECTRONIC COMMERCE IN PRACTICE AS A TOOL TO PROMOTE TRADE FACILITATION

Electronic commerce is becoming increasingly important in the volume of international transactions, and Latin America and the Caribbean is not exempt from this dynamic as it is one of the regions with the largest amount of Internet users in the world. Given this window of opportunity and in order to promote the institutionalization of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to close the digital gap in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Permanent Secretariat of SELA, together with UNCTAD, is organizing the online training course “Electronic commerce in practice as a tool to promote trade facilitation,” in order to train participants in the management of concepts and tools needed to conduct business using electronic commerce and ICT platforms. The course was developed on the platform of UNCTAD’s TrainForTrade Programme and will be taught in Spanish.
