Abstract
This paper explores the complexities of trade policy formulation and implementation at a continental level, with a particular focus on Africa. The analysis highlights the critical role of trade policy in economic development, particularly in facilitating the movement of goods, technology, and skills, and in fostering linkages between supply and demand. The analysis also examines the impact of macroeconomic policies on trade, drawing on examples from both African and international contexts. The paper discusses the process of trade policy formulation, emphasizing the need for greater involvement of the private sector and civil society in policy-making processes. It critiques the tendency of African governments to monopolize trade policy decisions, often leading to inefficiencies and a lack of transparency. The paper concludes by advocating for a more inclusive and participatory approach to trade policy formulation, one that leverages the insights and experiences of all stakeholders to create policies that are better suited to Africa's developmental needs.
