The objective of this paper is to briefly review Africa trade policy in the light of recent international development. Perhaps the weakest aspect of Africa's trade policy is the continuation of neo-colonialist ideas and models. Neither the trade objectives nor the terms of reference of trade institutions are redesigned to cope with the structural transformation as set out in the Lagos Plan of Action and the Final Act of Lagos. Even after the adoption of the Lagos Plan of Action, policy. makers in Africa still fail to either understand or to alter the real forces on Which their international trade depends for the results they seek to attain.
