The Short Course Enhancing Continental Trade Facilitation in Africa will provide an opportunity for senior mid-career officials from relevant government Ministries or agencies in priority African countries to undertake a professional development short course to strengthen intra-African trade.

The purpose of this Short Course is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to:

• improve coordination and cooperation between the various parties involved in cross-border logistics operations (public and private sector)
• make international trade and cross-border processes more efficient, less costly and accessible
• harness data-sharing technologies to best effect

explore opportunities, share knowledge and promote best practice by driving discussions on the success factors and lessons learnt in the implementation of trade facilitation reforms.
