UN/CEFACT

The United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business, (UN/CEFACT) has a mission to improve the ability of business, trade and administrative organizations, from developed, developing and transitional economies, to exchange products and relevant services effectively - and so contribute to the growth of global commerce.

UN/CEFACT is an inclusive organization that welcomes participation from United Nations Member States, intergovernmental agencies, sectoral and industry associations recognized by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations[?] (ECOSOC) as well as the private sector, from which much of UN/CEFACT's technical expertise comes from.

UN/CEFACT facilitates the development of e-business standards that can cross all international boundaries and help lower transaction costs, simplify data flow and reduce bureaucracy.

Work outputs of UN/CEFACT activities include ebXML, and UN/EDIFACT.
