Industry, trade and market access

Abstract

This cluster was established following the reconfiguration of the agriculture and market access cluster, at the Seventh Regional Coordination Mechanism meeting. Its objective is to direct the work of United Nations agencies. It is intended to spur economic growth, reduce poverty and help achieve the Millennium Development Goals, particularly in the least developed countries. More specifically, the cluster supports the African Union Commission Department of Trade and Industry in implementing the Union’s and NEPAD strategies for Africa.
