REPOA (Research on Poverty Alleviation), a non-profit research organization in Tanzania, and the International Institute of Social Studies have formally launched a two-year policy programme to offer targeted support to strengthen the capacity of policy makers, exporters, and trade associations, to assess and review trade and related economic policies, and to promote trade competitiveness and diversification for widening trading opportunities with the EU.
The programme will run until end October 2021.
The programme aims to support exporters, trade support institutions (TSIs), the government of Tanzania and other development stakeholders to enhance the capacity of Tanzania as an ACP country to formulate and implement suitable trade policies, including strategies for strategic measures to harness the opportunities arising from effective implementation of regional and international trade agreements.
The official launching of this programme was held in Dodoma and Zanzibar. The programme is funded by the European Union (TradeCom II – ACP Trade Capacity Building Programme).
