The WTO is a knowledge-driven organization. Key to its operations in serving WTO Members are its Secretariat’s greatest assets – its staff, the WTO’s institutional memory, structural and supporting technologies. To support evidence-based decision-making, relevant knowledge must continuously flow within the Secretariat in order meet the rapidly changing needs of WTO Members.
This Knowledge Identification & Codification form is designed to help ensure that the vast amount of knowledge generated in the WTO is identified, codified and preserved to the extent possible, in order to optimise the benefits for Members.
