Africa Trade Forum 2011:Plenary Session 1: Trade as an Engine of Growth & Development in Africa, Can Africa Trade itself out of Poverty?
| dc.description | The inaugural Africa Trade Forum (ATF) 2011 was held at the United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC) in Addis Ababa with the strategic objective of promoting multi-stakeholder policy dialogue on trade issues in Africa by mobilizing all the different trade constituencies across Africa and the world in general, to debate and exchange views on all the key issues relating to intra-African trade, and Africa’s trade with the rest of the world. The UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA, Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, in his opening remarks, underscored that “with intra-Africa trade at just about 11% of total trade as compared to 72% in Europe and 52 % in Asia, it is evident that there is a lot of scope for expansion in regional trade.” He further stated the importance of the inaugural forum, which he said provides an opportunity to build on the success stories in intra-African trade despite various constraints. | en |
