About this role

The Trade and Market Intelligence (TMI) section is part of ITC’s Division of Market Development (DMD). TMI has developed, and is continuously evolving, a set of market analysis tools and customizes these tools for specific regions to facilitate greater intra-regional trade and integration. These are made available for business actors (particularly MSMEs) and are free of charge for users from developing countries. In addition, TMI has developed methodologies for focused studies as well as analytical outputs and surveys in areas such as non-tariff measures. TMI also delivers capacity‑building services for beneficiaries in using its tools and analysis methodologies in support of strategic and operational trade‑related decisions. ITC’s Competitive Intelligence (CI) Programme, hosted by TMI, delivers training, advice and online solutions to strengthen the capacity of trade and investment support institutions (TISIs) to gather and distribute customized intelligence to their clients about their competitive environment. This includes the development of the African Trade Observatory (ATO) in collaboration with the Africa Union (AU), which aims at integrating ITC information with data from African countries to facilitate the monitoring of regional and continental trade agreements, the Global Trade Helpdesk (GTH) and other integrated solutions. The Programme Officer will coordinate and supervise the work of the CI Programme, particularly in relation to the ATO initiative and the GTH, bringing together different TMI teams and a wide network of national, regional and international partners to strengthen market analysis skills of economic actors.
