The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) through its market institution section (MIS) is supporting member countries in promoting trade in services and integrating the services sector into regional and global value chains. A new technical assistance project is being implemented to unlock the potential of trade in services in Africa, with a specific focus on effectively implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). 

The project aims to enhance national institutional capacities to measure the added value of regional services value chains, assess the impact of services sector development on international trade, and facilitating the development of public policy frameworks for sustainable sector growth. The workshop will combine theoretical and practical approaches to train participants on trade in services. The theoretical phase will delve into the foundations of trade in services and its impact at various levels. The practical phase will focus on applying this knowledge using the Eora database.
