The Rwandan office of the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) praised ECA's 2015 edition of its Economic Report on Africa (ERA), saying that it contains “important subjects that will help DFID to design its programmes for the next three or four years”. The report, entitled “Industrializing through Trade”, was presented by Andrew Mold and Pedro Martins, ECA Economic Affairs Officers, to a group of DFID staff members at the invitation of Mr. Kato Kimbugwe, team leader of economic growth at DFID Rwanda office. The discussions focused on key messages of the report, including how promoting regional integration can provide a significant boost to both trade and industrial performance. Presenting the report findings, Mold said that the intra-EAC market is dynamic and facilitates the emergence of regional value chains more than Africa’s trade with the rest of the world.
