African trade policy centre : second phase of project (ATPC II)

Abstract

Africa is the least developed continent and on current trends most African countries are not on track to meet the Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015. In this regard, African governments have committed themselves to initiatives to help tackle the various challenges including through the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). Similarly, the international community is supporting Africa’s development effort including debt relief, official development assistance and enabling better use of trade opportunities in several areas.
