Trade resources

Don't know the difference between fair trade and free trade? Then read our briefing papers:

Partnership under Pressure
Our latest report is an assessment of the conduct of the EU in EPA negotiations.

Much to Lose, Little to Gain is a policy report looking at the potential impact of EPAs on the Malawian economy. It gives a practical insight into the negative effects that these trade agreements could have on low-income countries such as Malawi.

More policy briefings and Tearfund position papers are available on our policy and research pages.

We also have lots of resources to help you encourage other people to stand alongside those affected by unjust trade.
