About TKN 2\/2<\/a>: … The TKN brings together institutions and individuals working on common concerns, strengthening each others\u2019 research and communication capacity and knowledge bases, and developing solutions to share with others outside the network.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It thereby provides a platform for partner-based research and specific policy engagement.<\/p>\n

The overarching aim of the TKN is to help ensure that trade and investment contribute to sustainable development, where social development and environmental goals are equitably addressed in trade and investment policies. The TKN furthers this aim by generating strong research with clear policy recommendations and communicating those effectively to decision makers nationally, regionally and globally. As an on-going initiative, the TKN seeks to expand its reach and impact by building south-south and north-south linkages to other organizations nationally, regionally and globally, building connections of collaboration and knowledge sharing among TKN partners working cooperatively to ensure trade contributes to sustainable development, with social development and environment equitably addressed in trade policies.<\/p>\n
