#Africa 2nd Annual Workshop on International Economic Negotiations kicks off in Johannesburg

//

The second Annual Workshop on International Economic Negotiations opened in Johannesburg on Monday under the theme, “Building Africa’s Negotiating Capacity for Improved Terms of Engagement with the Rest of the World.”

The event is part of activities led by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) to promote policies and programmes that strengthen the process of African economic integration, as explained by Stephen Karingi, Director of ECA’s Capacity Development Division (CDD):

“We are basically assisting Member States in the development of common positions towards international negotiations as well as in enhancing the skills of African negotiators to get optimal deals for their countries and region from bilateral and international negotiations.”

During the five-day gathering, policy makers and experts on investment, taxation, natural resource contract negotiations and trade negotiations from over 40 African countries will exchange experiences, explore options and strategies for possible coordination of positions, and interact with globally leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of economic negotiations.
