The WTO 14^th Ministerial Conference ('MC14') will take place in Yaounde, Cameroon from 26-29 March 2026. In a context where ongoing discussions on the reform of the WTO will take centre stage at MC14, the EU recently submitted its views to the WTO Membership. Against this backdrop, the objective of this meeting is to update civil society stakeholders of the state of play of the reform process and expectations/preparations for the upcoming MC14.
