Trade and investment have the potential to transform economies and societies, empower workers, connect enterprises across the globe, and contribute to sustainable development. However, for this potential to be realized, adequate policies, programmes, and institutional frameworks must be in place to ensure that foreign direct investment (FDI) aligns with national development objectives. Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) play a critical role in this process by linking investors and governments, shaping investment strategies that support the creation of more and better jobs, facilitating linkages between multinational enterprises and local suppliers, and promoting investment practices that contribute to decent work and inclusive sustainable economic growth. This online training will support IPAs and related institutions in strengthening their internal capacity to transform FDI into meaningful development outcomes, including in terms of more and better jobs.
