United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is correct.
The Trade and Development Board (TDB) is the executive body of UNCTAD. It manages UNCTAD’s work between the four-yearly ministerial conferences, reviews its programmes and reports to the UN General Assembly through the Economic and Social Council.
UNCTAD was established in 1964 as a permanent intergovernmental body of the UN General Assembly, with headquarters in Geneva, to help developing countries integrate into the world economy. In 2024 it began using the name UN Trade and Development.
The WTO is governed by its Ministerial Conference and General Council; the IMF by its Board of Governors and Executive Board; the World Bank by its Board of Governors and Executive Directors. None of these has a Trade and Development Board.
