Aid and trade used to be seen as similar, but now there's a new idea called "aid for trade" where extra aid helps countries handle trade issues. Many think developing nations need help with supply and trade infrastructure to benefit from market access. This help could reduce bottlenecks and costs that hold back trade. Developing countries want support to improve their ability to trade.
