The Economic Commission for Africa will launch a report on bilateral investment treaties and the implications of these for Africa during the Conference of Ministers taking place in Addis Ababa. In 2015, ECA undertook a study Investment Policies & Bilateral Investment Treaties in Africa: Implications for Regional Integration, to cast light on the prevalence, scope, application and contribution to investment as well challenges arising from these agreements. The report recommends revisiting the wording in the BITs before being re-negotiated with the counterparts to ensure that a balance is struck between protecting the investor and giving the government sufficient policy space to achieve development objectives.
