The World Trade Organization leads an initiative called "Aid For Trade". The WTO asked Mr James Lockett (then VP of Huawei) and Mr. Cosmas Zavazava from the ITU, coming from the institutional and the business sides, to share their expectations out of the 2017 Global Review of the WTO's Aid For Trade Dialogue. They focused on the topic: "ICT, Women and The Digital Divide".
