The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is a major partner in the online resource, Global Trade Alert (GTA). This project is an independent initiative also supported by the Centre for Economic Policy Research, the International Development Research Centre and the World Bank. It provides real-time information on state measures taken during the current global downturn that are likely to affect foreign commerce. It goes beyond other monitoring initiatives by identifying the trading partners likely to be harmed by these measures.

The project has been labeled an "independent anti-protectionism watchdog" and brings together a network of experts and think tanks in order to assess the measures taken by governments during the economic downturn. It analyzes internal markets and how new trade policies impact other trading partners. For North America, this project is unique in that trade barriers affecting Canada, US, and Mexico are readily available and accessible.
