UNCTAD's technical cooperation under this theme aims to support economic diversification, sustainable development, and increased competitiveness through investment, trade, and technology. Key activities include:

Investment Policy Reviews (IPRs): Conducted in several countries and regional groups, these reviews analyze the strategic, legal, and institutional frameworks for investment, providing action-oriented policy advice and recommendations.
Capacity-building: Includes workshops, technical assistance, and follow-up activities to help countries implement IPR recommendations and improve investment policies.
Support for e-commerce and digital economy: Promoting digital transformation and online trade.
Sustainable trade and environment: Focusing on green trade practices and environmental protection.
Regional cooperation: Activities under CEMAC, WAEMU, and ASEAN among others.
