Objet publié

This project, implemented through the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), aims to contribute to sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction in Africa through the development and implementation of sound trade policies at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels. The project is assisting three Regional Economic Communities (RECs) - the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the East African Community (EAC), and the South African Development Community (SADC), their member states and trade-related institutions and networks to develop sound, regionally coherent, national trade policies and to participate more effectively in trade negotiations. This project also facilitates the participation of the private sector, trade unions, women's business organizations and parliamentarians in trade policy dialogue.
