A.1) INTRODUCTION

The Partner Country questionnaire is separated into 6 main sections that examine:

- Changes to your government's Aid-for-Trade priorities since 2012;

- Your government's views on the importance of trade costs for the competitiveness of your exports of goods and services;

- Your government's experience in reducing trade costs;

- Challenges you may face in implementing the Trade Facilitation Agreement, when adopted;

- The impact of Aid for Trade on your trade costs; and

- The impact of Aid for Trade and the potential future contribution of the Initiative to the post-2015 development agenda.

The questions are phrased so as to allow comparisons with your answers to previous monitoring exercises. If you do not have a record of previous answers, you can access them online at http://www.oecd.org/aidfortrade/self-assessments.htm
