the global voice of the commercial diplomacy profession
The Association of Certified Commercial Diplomats is the first independent, global professional body, providing training and accreditation for practitioners of commercial diplomacy in government ministries, parastatals, corporations, academic, public and private institutions worldwide.
Diplomats of older generations still lack the expertise needed to manage commercial diplomatic policies. As we have seen, diplomatic work increasingly has become centered around global trade, economic and commercial issues.
ACCD, a strategic and collaborative partner of many academic, diplomatic and intergovernmental organisations worldwide, is a professional organisation with a membership drawn from the trade, economic, energy, agriculture, foreign affairs, legal, anti-corruption and commercial diplomacy professions.
Its main sources of finance are membership subscriptions, specialist programmes, seminars and forums.
