The United Nations, through its Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT), supports activities dedicated to improving the ability of business, trade and administrative organizations, from developed, developing and transitional economies, to exchange products and relevant services effectively.

Its principal focus is on facilitating national and international transactions, through the simplification and harmonisation of processes, procedures and information flows, and so contribute to the growth of global commerce.
The development of eBusiness Standards and Trade Facilitation Recommendations is carried out in the UN/CEFACT Forum which is the concurrent meeting of all permanent UN/CEFACT Groups, at one time in the same location, to facilitate close liaison and full interaction as a single working body. The UN/CEFACT Forum is managed by a Forum Management Group (FMG).
