Deliverable 2.2: Synthesis report on how the Sustainable Development Goals are currently included in preferential agreements and how are sustainability provision working

The analysis conducted in Task 2.2 of the Work Package No.2 of the TRADE4SD project was designed to offer an overview of how SDGs are included in the EU trade agreements. With this objective, value chains of three strategic products (cocoa, coffee and olive oil) were analysed respectively in Ghana, Vietnam and Tunisia. An important characteristic of the selected countries is that each of them has different types of trade agreements with the EU, each at different stages of negotiation and development. The synthesis report D2.2 aims to present a short resume of the case studies with a specific focus on summarizing the key differences, primary outcomes, lessons learned and policy recommendations. The differences concern two levels: the structural composition of the case studies and the derived lessons learned and policy recommendations. The overarching objective of this work is to formulate evidence-based policy recommendations that can prove valuable to the EU in its ongoing and forthcoming negotiations.
