GM services at regional level mainly consist of organizing knowledge exchange initiatives to raise awareness and strengthen institutional knowledge and capacity on trade finance for SLM.The GM has developed a knowledge exchange programme for trade finance for SLM for Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The objective of the programme is to help SLM stakeholders, particularly the UNCCD focal point institutions (i.e. agriculture and environment ministries), to engage in AfT in order to pool trade-related resources with those of other sectors to fund projects, programmes and priority actions contributing to SLM and UNCCD implementation in a given country.

The Programme is targeted towards engaging government officials of LDCs, particularly those involved in UNCCD implementation in their respective country. These include officials from different ministries, in particular from the agriculture, environment, trade, finance, planning and development ministries. Donors, civil society organizations and private-sector and international organizations involved in AfT and/or in rural development and sustainable natural resource management may also be interested in the Programme.

The programme is implemented through regional knowledge exchange initiatives (e.g. workshops). The GM has developed a specific knowledge exchange manual as a reference tool explaining the various instruments and approaches for mobilizing trade resources for SLM in LDCs. The programme is part of the broader GM Programme on Designing Integrated Financing Strategies (DIFS) for SLM.
