=== Women and Trade ===
The ITC has the goal of integrating business in developing economies to bring them to a global standard, and the Women and Trade programme tackles this task through gender economic solutions<ref name=":1"></ref><ref></ref>. Vanessa Erogbogbo is the head of the Women and Trade Programme at the International Trade Centre, which is a joint agency of the [[World Trade Organization]] (WTO) and the [[United Nations]] (UN) and projects the idea of inclusivity and sustainability to aid the efforts in creating economic development that is sutainable. At the ITC she oversees a team of people that, together, strategize and develop connections that can be brought to women through the #shetrades agenda<ref name=":2"></ref><ref name=":3">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>. Erogbogbo oversaw the creation of #shetrades when it was launched in 2015<ref name=":3" />.The #shetrades initiative has the mission to "Champion quality data; Enact fair policies; Secure government contracts; Strike business deals; Enable market access; Unlock financial services; and Grant ownership rights"<ref></ref>. The Women and Trade Programme uses their power to connect the private sector and institutions that support trade through government power to benefit women and increase female participation in export trade<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":1" />.The first few countries to be targetted for business growth include Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Nigeria, Oman, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia<ref></ref>.
There have been studies that prove that countries who oppress the participation of women in the market are worst off and have lower [[Gross domestic product|GDP]]<nowiki/>s than if they were to include female particiaption<ref name=":2" />. In addition to this, women often care for their family and will make sure that household income is wisely used (ie. giving children access to education), which makes women examplary candidates for economic support as it will benefit more than just one individual<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name=":4">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>. Together, these reasons attribute to the reason #shetrades exists, which is a movement that Erogbogbo leads towards a sustainable means for women to access resources. Erogbogbo worked to create #shetrades with the goal to connect 3 million women to markets by the year 2021<ref name=":2" />,and to encourage entrepreneurship in women, especially women in developing worlds<ref> UN Global Compact|website=www.unglobalcompact.org|access-date=2019-04-02}}</ref>.
=== Sustainable and Inclusive Value Chains ===
Erogbogbo oversees Sustainable and Inclusive Value Chains as the chief of this sector of ITC. Using maps, the ITC identifies where markets for exports would be best suited when accounting for competitive and comparative advantage<ref></ref>.
== Author ==
Vanessa Erogbogbo was a co-author, along with Ester Eghobamien and Elizabeth Pimentel, of the Gender Responsive Investment Handbook: Addressing Barriers to Financial Access for Women's Enterprise<ref name=":5">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (3 for 1)</ref>. This work aligns with much of the #shetrades movement Erogbogbo pursues in that it addresses the issues of women not having the same access to markets that men do and the stunting of economic growth that can cause for the overall wellbeing of prosperity<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":2" />. Besides this, she has also written several pieces on her Women and Trade programme and other works to bring awareness to marginalization of women in developing worlds. She has written an article addressing the issue that addresses the gender gap that is driven further apart by the exclusion of women from African countries<ref name=":4" />.
== Media and Conferences ==
Erogbogbo lead a talk at TEDx LausanneWomen to introduce some of her favorite success stories in woman owned businesses and how more can be done to drive this empowerment and lead the future economy<ref> Vanessa Erogbogbo TEDxLausanneWomen|date=2015-07-28|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IBfCK5xPAs|access-date=2019-04-02}}</ref>.
Erogbogbo has participated in several WTO public forums that are broadcasted on the WTO website. In 2016, Erogbogbo was a panelist with moderators Katherine Hagen and Caitlin Kraft- Buchman with the topic "Women's Economic Empowerment and Trade: Contributing to the Deliberations and Recommendations of the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Women's Economic Empowerment" all on inclusive trade<ref name=":6"> Public Forum 2016|website=www.wto.org|access-date=2019-04-02}}</ref>. When addressing systemic constraints of sustainable development and gender equality as a trade issue, Erogbogbo explains that there is not one great reason for the supply side constraints nor one easy solution but that the transition from development community leading the way of the involvement of the private sector (which is key in resource accessing) is important in providing markets to women. In addition to this, women are already entrepreneurs but they either do not have the opportunities presented to them the same way men would have or even when they do they, they do not have the skills to access these opportunities because of a lack of knowledge and education on the issues. Erogbogbo supports the leveraging of technology access to women so that women can cross barriers and access markets with less resistance<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":3" />. The ITC has made efforts to create an app to make entering and accessing markets easier for women. The following year, Erogbogbo acted as the moderator for the 2017 WTO public forum sessions<ref> gr17|website=www.wto.org|access-date=2019-04-02}}</ref>.
