Abstract: The authors assess to what extent the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) provides assistance to LDCs through its "Diagnostic Trade Integration Study (DTIS)" towards more effective trade and development policies. The DTISs raison d'étre is to improve LDC's trade capabilities and - thence - reduce their levels of poverty. A key feature of LDCs economies are their agricultural commodities. DTIS are intended to guide LDCs in increasing the quantity, quality and value-addition of exports of agricultural commodities; creating jobs and increase welfare. Thus, better understanding how products best fit into the global supply and global value chains (GSC/GVC) becomes critical. Our analysis shows that the new guidelines for the DTISs of 2018 do not sufficiently address the Global/Regional Supply and Value Chains.
