Progress reported	3 May 2024 — G/TFA/N/EGY/4 Egypt was not able to secure technical assistance and capacity building in this respect. However, each relevant agency has a website on which information related to trade is published, yet, the level of development of these websites widely varies among the different agencies. TACB support needs include: • Creation of a single comprehensive trade information portal with advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. • Website development and setting criteria and procedures for collecting, monitoring, processing and updating the data. • Training of the relevant agencies' staffs. • Technical & Financial support for Translation into one of the official languages of the WTO.
