The document discusses challenges in aid, development finance, and global economic governance in light of the global financial crisis. It notes new challenges for aid donors due to budget pressures and changing priorities around issues like global public goods. It also discusses how emerging markets and decisions by the G20, such as on exchange rates and fiscal policy, have major effects on low-income countries and least developed countries, but that these countries have little voice in forums like the G20. It argues the G20 should improve links to the private sector and formally consider issues facing low-income countries, including potentially giving them seats at the G20 table, to better account for the development impacts of their policies.

G20 in retrospect and in prospect
The document summarizes the origins and role of the G20, an international forum for governments and central bank governors from 20 major economies. It discusses how the G20 was formed in response to the Asian financial crisis and grew in importance following the 2008 global financial crisis. The document outlines the G20's membership, rotating annual presidency, and focus areas over time such as financial regulation, infrastructure development, food security, and green growth. It also describes the World Bank's role in supporting the G20 agenda and priorities through research, policy advice, and capacity building efforts.
Draper-Freytag-Bauer (London - Dec 2010)
This document discusses the impact of the 2008 global economic crisis and G20 responses on sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that:
1) The crisis initially reduced demand, capital flows, and trade from developed nations, slowing growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
2) Stimulus packages in developed countries had unintended protectionist effects that further hurt African exports and trade.
3) However, African nations avoided major policy reversals, and growth has rebounded somewhat due to recovery in China and emerging markets.
4) The crisis accelerated Africa's economic ties shifting from the West to partners like China, though trade and aid ties to Europe and North America remain important.
MDGs & external finance, Peter Gammeltoft, Dakar 2009
The financial crisis has significantly impacted developing countries through reduced trade, tightening of credit, reversal of capital flows, and decreased investment. Private financial flows to developing countries fell 40% in 2008, including a 14% drop in foreign direct investment. An estimated 55-90 million more people will fall into extreme poverty as a result. While some large emerging economies have been less affected, other developing countries face high risks due to large external debts, current account deficits, and shallow foreign reserves. Maintaining international cooperation and aid will be important to support developing countries and achieve the Millennium Development Goals during this time.

1. Inflation is increasingly being driven by global factors like rising food and fuel prices rather than domestic monetary policies. As trade and capital flows have integrated globally, inflation has become more volatile and persistent across countries.
2. 'Asset inflation' caused by speculative investment treating commodities like food and oil as assets contributes to high and volatile price levels beyond temporary spikes. High growth in global financial assets is channeling capital into financial markets rather than productive investment.
3. Countries like Brazil are vulnerable to speculative capital flows that can rapidly appreciate and depreciate their currencies, with inflationary impacts. Coordinated macroeconomic, exchange rate, and capital control policies are needed to manage such financial instability.
G 20
The G-20 summit held in March 2009 received positive press but may have done more harm than good. While countercyclical fiscal policy and additional IMF resources were discussed, most plans could have been implemented without a summit. Further, the summit's vague calls for fiscal stimulus may provide cover for countries to increase spending. However, the real fiscal responses have been small, with China doing the most but still having a small global impact. The summit also failed to significantly increase IMF resources despite indications more borrowers will need help. The regulatory agenda is also concerning as it mandates immediate tightening which could further slow credit during a recession.

The project is aimed to present to the general public the Sustainable Development Goals and to highlight that delivering of SDGs should be the common vision for the future for all the mankind
Global Economic Crisis
The document summarizes the global economic crisis, providing details on what an economic crisis is, the history of past crises like the Great Depression, common causes of crises, and the overall effects on countries. Specific countries that were heavily impacted by the crisis are discussed, such as Argentina, Australia, Thailand, and conclusions call for reforms to the international financial system to prevent future crises.
20121008 macro outlook
The document discusses the U.S. macroeconomic outlook in October 2012. It identifies several global challenges, including rebalancing the U.S. housing market and avoiding structural unemployment. It then reviews what the author got wrong in their previous predictions about the 2007-2012 period. Specifically, the author underestimated the impact of the subprime crisis and overestimated the government and Federal Reserve's response. The document goes on to analyze the financial crisis, spending slowdown, and housing collapse in more detail. It considers the risks and opportunities currently facing the U.S. macroeconomic situation.

Ipe11
This document summarizes various approaches to managing international debt crises, including:
1) The Baker Plan of 1985 which provided loans to debtor countries with conditions like privatization and economic opening in exchange.
2) The Brady Plan of 1989 which encouraged debt reduction by private banks and used new IMF/World Bank funding to collateralize remaining debts into bonds.
3) Debt-equity swaps and debt-for-nature swaps which exchanged debt for assets or environmental protections.
4) The HIPC initiative starting in 1996 to provide debt relief to heavily indebted poor countries and alleviate poverty.
Presentación de Stiglitz en Colombia. 2009
This document discusses challenges facing Colombia related to employment, security, and development. It notes that unemployment has long been higher in Colombia than other Latin American countries and rose to its highest rate in the region during the recent global recession. Despite GDP growth, job growth has been weak with many new jobs being low-quality, informal positions. The document examines potential explanations for Colombia's unemployment and weak job growth, and proposes solutions like tax reforms, exchange rate interventions, industrial policies, and ensuring a balanced role for markets and the government in promoting growth, employment, and stability.
Causes of Financial Crises
This is a recording of a revision webinar exploring some of the causes of financial crises in developed and emerging market countries. There are many different types of crises ranging from currency/external debt crises to disturbances in banking systems.
Remarks at the IDFC meeting Paris 31 March 2015
The UN Assistant Secretary-General outlined the UN Secretary-General's strategy for mobilizing climate finance ahead of the Paris climate negotiations in December 2015. The strategy focuses on delivering five essential elements: 1) Developed countries providing $100B annually by 2020, 2) The Green Climate Fund approving projects and disbursing funds, 3) Support for economic drivers of low-carbon growth, 4) Delivery of private sector finance commitments from the 2014 UN Climate Summit, and 5) A finance package for least developed and small island developing states. The Assistant Secretary-General urged representatives of development finance institutions to show leadership in moving the world to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy.
Ipe04
Financial crises often begin with structural deficits that are exacerbated by economic downturns, causing countries to default on loans. This occurred in several crises in the 1990s and 2000s: the 1994 Mexican Peso Crisis, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the 1998 Russian financial crisis, and the 1999-2002 Argentine crisis. The Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 was led by the bursting of the housing bubble in the US and near collapse of financial markets due to risky mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps.
De ocampo presentation 3rd singapore global dialogue sep 12 (2)
Roberto De Ocampo was invited to speak at the 3rd Singapore Global Dialogue on whether the world economy is governable. He argues that the world economy is far more complex now than during the Bretton Woods system. Several financial crises starting in the 1990s demonstrated the interconnectedness of economies and impacted regions and the world. The rise of China and shift of economic power away from the US and Europe has further complicated governance. While the G20 aims to facilitate cooperation, it faces legitimacy issues due to its limited membership. True global governance will require continued evolution of international institutions and cooperation between powerful state actors like the US, EU, and China.
G20 Growth Agenda: Framework for Strong, Sustainable, and Balanced Growth
The document discusses the G20 agenda to promote strong, sustainable, and balanced global economic growth. It provides context on the G20 process and framework. It then outlines several challenges, including restoring strong growth and job creation in advanced economies, fostering sustainable growth in emerging economies to avoid middle-income traps, promoting balanced growth and reducing global imbalances, and ensuring growth is inclusive. It discusses how G20 countries are developing national growth strategies focused on investment, competition, trade, and employment to contribute to lifting collective G20 GDP growth above current policy trajectories.
G20 and Global Governance
- The G20 was created in 1999 by the G7 countries in response to financial crises to help stabilize global markets and the international monetary system.
- It has taken on a larger role since the 2008 crisis and expanded its membership to include both creditor and emerging economies.
- However, the G20 and other global institutions have struggled to anticipate and resolve major issues like inequality, unemployment, climate change, and have focused more on short-term banking rescues in developed countries. Significant obstacles remain to establishing a new economic governance with more justice for developing countries.
International economic ch22
This document provides an overview of developing countries, including their economic growth, structural features, borrowing and debt issues, and experiences with financial crises. Some key points discussed include:
- Developing countries have shown uneven economic convergence and growth rates compared to industrialized nations.
- Common structural features of developing economies include government intervention, inflation, weak institutions, and reliance on commodity exports.
- Developing country borrowing led to debt crises when borrowers defaulted due to factors like high interest rates and falling commodity prices.
- Latin American countries experienced high inflation and debt crises in the 1980s while pursuing different stabilization strategies.
- East Asian countries grew rapidly due to high savings and investment but
Subacchi, Varghese, Jackson (London - Dec 2010)
The document discusses cooperation vs unilateral intervention in international economics. It argues that while countries agree on goals like global growth and rebalancing, individual countries prioritize domestic goals which can lead to policy spillovers and retaliation that result in suboptimal outcomes. Cooperation through forums like the G20 faces challenges due to diverging economic performance among members and lack of enforcement. Regional arrangements and integration can facilitate cooperation where interests converge. Overall, cooperation requires addressing policy spillovers and providing credible incentives and commitments to avoid outcomes where all countries are worse off.
2008 World Economic crisis, Global Meltdown, Global Financial Crisis
The 2008 financial crisis was caused by a combination of factors: rising housing prices, risky lending practices, and overreliance on complex financial instruments. When the housing bubble burst, it exposed vulnerabilities throughout the financial system. Major investment banks collapsed and governments had to bail out firms like AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The crisis led to a global economic downturn, trillions in wealth destruction, and high unemployment in many countries. Governments addressed the crisis through stimulus spending, bank bailouts, and new financial regulations aimed at preventing future crises.
Fiscal Space and Financial Stability: A Differential Analysis
The document summarizes the Modern Money Theory (MMT) perspective on fiscal space and sustainability, contrasting it with the orthodox view. It discusses how MMT rejects the idea that government spending must be financed through taxes or debt issuance. Under MMT, a sovereign government with its own currency is only limited by real resources and inflation, not financial constraints. The document also examines sectoral balances and argues that countries with trade deficits need domestic budget deficits to support private sector surpluses. It analyzes how Germany achieved large trade surpluses within the Eurozone at the expense of its trade partners through internal devaluation.
Unpan006235
This document discusses strategies for improving domestic resource mobilization in developing countries to finance development goals. It addresses the importance of fiscal discipline, tax reform, expanding the tax base, improving revenue administration, and mobilizing domestic savings. It also discusses the role of foreign investment, international trade, foreign aid, and ensuring macroeconomic stability and good governance to create an environment conducive to mobilizing domestic and foreign resources. The document examines challenges such as globalization, increased capital mobility, and the need for international cooperation on tax policies to help developing countries replace lost tax revenues.
Financial crisis 2008
Overview about The financial Crisis in 2008. The presentation with 4 main points: reasons, development (also including responses), and consequences.
We hope that this is an easy source of information for you to understand this crisis.
Petrocapita - Thoughts on 2011
Western governments are hopelessly addicted to deficit financing while refusing to address looming funding issues - with apologies to the embarrassingly foolish Angela Merkel, politicians can no more successfully “battle” the markets than you and I can successfully “battle” gravity. Petrocapita is an investment trust built around the premise that demand for energy will continue to move prices higher over the long-term. Petrocapita was created to allow investors to add professionally managed oil & gas assets directly to their portfolios.
The Financial Crisis of 2008
The Financial Crisis of 2008 was caused by a housing bubble fueled by excessive leverage and risky lending practices. As home prices declined and credit tightened, consumers and financial institutions were squeezed, resulting in a recession. While the recession may be longer than expected due to deleveraging, history shows that technological innovation and global trade will support long-term economic growth. To navigate the current volatility, investors should stick to their long-term plan and take advantage of opportunities while maintaining a diversified portfolio and emergency funds.
€urozone Crisis What impact in the region?
The document discusses the impact of the Eurozone crisis on Africa and provides lessons for regional integration in Africa. It covers 3 main parts: 1) the still robust but slowing economic growth in Africa despite the global slump, 2) the transmission mechanisms through which the Eurozone crisis could impact Africa including recession, austerity measures, falling commodity prices, and reduced trade and capital flows, 3) lessons for Africa including the need to properly regulate markets, ensure fiscal policy coordination, and build strong political will and institutions to support regional integration efforts.

Global financial-crisis-1228410534714358-9
This document provides a summary of media coverage of the global financial crisis from mid-2007 to October 2008. It includes a timeline of key events, such as the bursting of the housing bubble in the US in 2007 and the bankruptcies of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns in 2008. It also outlines the causes and implications of the crisis, as well as recommendations for the future path forward. Tables of contents and methodology are included to provide structure and transparency around the sources and process used to develop the summary.
Global economic crisis
The global economic crisis of 2007-2008 began in the United States with the bursting of the housing bubble and subprime mortgage crisis, which led to a financial crisis and the Great Recession. Many economies are still experiencing negative effects such as high unemployment. The crisis was caused by lax regulation, excessive risk taking by banks, global trade imbalances, and irrational behavior that led to financial bubbles. It impacted the world through a decline in international trade and global growth, loss of confidence, and rising unemployment. India was impacted through effects on its stock market, trade, IT sector, foreign investments, currency, unemployment, GDP growth, and investments.
Uganda presentation1
The document summarizes the process of developing Uganda's National Trade Policy. It describes how a consultant was hired to write a background document examining existing trade policies and stakeholder views. A drafting team then developed a draft policy which underwent stakeholder consultations and revisions. The final policy aims to use trade to reduce poverty and supports private sector competitiveness and productive sectors domestically and internationally. It analyzes Uganda's trade situation and barriers and emphasizes trade linkages and complementarities with other policies.

The Cotonou Partnership Agreement recognizes the role of CSOs and requires that they be informed, consulted, and involved in cooperation policies and strategies. It also provides financial resources and capacity building support to help CSOs engage in the policy process. The key strategies CSOs use to influence trade policy include research, advocacy, capacity building, and awareness raising. The document also notes that while the private sector plays an advisory role, CSOs play a major role in shaping the trade policy process and ensuring transparency.

G20 in retrospect and in prospect
Presentation to the School of International Public Affairs Columbia University, New York, January 2012
G20.pdf
The G20 is an international forum of 19 countries and the European Union that represents around 85% of global GDP. It was established in 1999 in response to financial crises to promote international economic cooperation. The G20 addresses economic issues like trade and financial regulation as well as broader issues like climate change. One of its major achievements was coordinating the global response to the 2008 financial crisis. However, it faces ongoing challenges like rising protectionism and trade conflicts, as well as addressing climate change and reducing inequality. Going forward, the G20 will continue to play an important role in shaping the global economy if it can build consensus to tackle these challenges.

The document discusses the impacts of the global financial crisis on multilateralism and UNESCO. It may lead to lower government budgets and ODA funding for developing countries, threatening progress on goals like the MDGs. Multilateral organizations may face decreased funding from countries focused on economic survival. There is a need to balance immediate crisis response with long-term development needs and uphold commitments to international agreements. The G20 summit signaled some hope but lacked focus on development issues and resources for other multilateral bodies.

This document discusses ways to deal comprehensively with developing countries' debt through MDG 8 Target 8D. It outlines how national debt decreases developing countries' access to credit and makes them vulnerable to economic shocks. Solutions discussed include the World Trade Organization, Doha Development Agenda, and Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative. The HIPC initiative has provided over $80 billion in debt relief to developing countries. Turkey is highlighted as an example of a country increasing its aid to least developed countries.

International Climate Finance; Addressing needs, meeting targets - Gemma O'Re...Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland
International climate finance aims to address developing countries' needs for mitigation and adaptation funding while meeting targets set in the Copenhagen Accord. Estimates vary but developing countries may need tens to hundreds of billions annually for adaptation alone. The Accord set a goal of $100 billion per year by 2020 from public and private sources to help developing countries take climate action. Mobilizing sufficient finance faces challenges due to economic difficulties in many countries, but opportunities also exist in new climate-related markets and technologies that financial instruments could help support.Powerpoint 2
International business refers to firms operating in multiple countries, known as multinational corporations (MNCs). MNCs have subsidiaries in each country they operate in and must manage legal and cultural differences between countries. Increased international business and globalization have led to rising world trade. World trade benefits countries by increasing aggregate demand and economic growth, raising living standards through jobs and technology from foreign direct investment. Economies are also now closely aligned through shared international business cycles, so economic shocks can spread between countries.

This document provides an overview of the role of BRICS and the G20 in reforming the global financial architecture (GFA). It defines BRICS and the G20, describes the key components and issues with the current GFA, and outlines the roles and achievements of both the G20 and BRICS in addressing GFA reforms, including through initiatives like the New Development Bank established by BRICS. Challenges to GFA reforms led by the G20 are also discussed, such as differing priorities among members and slow implementation.
CCIC - Statistical Analysis of Official Development Assistance
This document analyzes trends in official development assistance (ODA) provided by countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It finds that while total ODA has generally increased over time in current prices, the rate of increase has not kept pace with economic growth. As a percentage of gross national income, ODA levels have fluctuated and remain well below the UN target of 0.7%. The analysis also examines trends in Canadian ODA and budget cuts that have decreased Canada's ODA in recent years.
International business management essay globalization
Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. It allows large corporations to access new markets and supplies, driving economic growth. However, it also enables the exploitation of developing countries through outsourcing of jobs and environmental damage. While globalization has reduced poverty, economic downturns can now rapidly spread worldwide through integrated financial systems. There are reasonable arguments on both sides of whether globalization should be encouraged or discouraged.

FM&INSTITUTES
The document discusses the financial crisis and policy responses. It outlines four phases of financial crises: containing contagion, coping with economic effects, regulatory reform, and dealing with political/social impacts. At the 2009 G20 summit, leaders agreed to increase resources for international financial institutions by $1.1 trillion to provide stimulus. Major policies included the Troubled Asset Relief Program and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Proposals were made to reform regulations at domestic and international levels to address problems and prevent future crises.
The Effects of International Trade on Poverty and Development
This document discusses the effects of international trade on poverty and development. It examines how trade can help stimulate economic growth in developing countries by providing access to larger markets and new technologies, but notes that trade alone is not sufficient for sustained growth and poverty reduction. Other factors like education, infrastructure, governance and institutions also contribute significantly. While trade liberalization aims to boost growth and reduce poverty, it can sometimes increase inequality if not accompanied by policies to support disadvantaged groups through challenges like job losses or food price increases. Successful trade reforms combine open markets with assistance programs to help people negatively impacted.

Kenya presentation2
This document discusses the role of Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture in trade policy making. It provides an overview of Kenya's agricultural sector and the Ministry's mandate to promote food security and agricultural exports. It then discusses the Ministry's involvement in trade policy processes, including participating in consultations for World Trade Organization agreements and Economic Partnership Agreement negotiations. It also describes challenges faced in trade negotiations due to factors like subsidies in developed countries and unfavorable terms of trade for agriculture.
110405 feats-ag, trade and development-overview of country studies-revised
The document summarizes key findings from studies conducted in 5 African countries (Malawi, Uganda, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania) on linking trade and agriculture for inclusive development. Some main points are:
- Agriculture is a major sector but productivity is low due to issues like limited inputs, land tenure systems, and low commercialization.
- Food security challenges exist due to factors like low production, market barriers, and environmental/policy issues.
- Trade can benefit development if managed well, but countries face issues like reliance on few exports, high trade costs for landlocked countries, and barriers to regional agricultural trade.
- Recommendations include prioritizing agriculture, improving productivity, promoting regional trade, addressing
Session ii ndebesa presentation
The document discusses agricultural development and trade issues in Uganda. It finds that while Uganda's GDP growth has been high, agricultural productivity has declined in recent decades due to factors like lack of improved inputs, animal and plant diseases, and unreliable weather. Uganda is also landlocked, relying on neighbors for trade, but this poses challenges like high transportation costs and delays. The document recommends that Uganda prioritize improving agricultural productivity through investment, research, and adoption of new technologies. It also suggests improving trade facilitation through regional agreements and infrastructure development to address challenges of being landlocked.
Session iii monica presentation
Regional trade in agriculture within the East African Community (EAC) has implications for food security and rural livelihoods in Tanzania. While trade among EAC members has increased, Tanzania's share of imports has declined. Tanzania exports more agricultural products like maize, rice, and beans to Kenya than it imports, but imports more foodstuffs overall due to poor infrastructure. Expanding cross-border trade could help address food insecurity by increasing market access and reducing prices, but Tanzania must also improve agricultural production, infrastructure, and policies to strengthen food security and rural development.
Session ii max presentation
The Zambian economy relies heavily on agriculture but agricultural productivity, especially for small-scale farmers, has been declining. As a landlocked country, Zambia also faces challenges in facilitating trade. The study examined factors affecting agricultural productivity and trade facilitation issues. It recommends that the government increase spending on infrastructure, irrigation, and extension services to support small-scale farmers and ensure fairness in agricultural markets. Regional organizations should also reduce barriers to regional agricultural trade to boost productivity and trade.
Session ii lawrence presentation
This document summarizes a study on the linkages between agricultural productivity, trade, and rural livelihoods in Malawi. It finds that while agricultural productivity has increased due to government interventions, constraints like high costs, low adoption rates, and poor infrastructure continue to challenge the sector. As a landlocked country, Malawi faces high transportation costs that reduce the competitiveness of its exports. The document recommends improving transportation infrastructure, facilitating regional trade, promoting irrigation and mechanization, and supporting research to develop competitive agricultural commodities and markets.
Session iii gloria presentation
Regional trade is important for Kenya's food security. Trade agreements with COMESA and EAC countries allow Kenya to import staple foods like maize when facing deficits, which helps stabilize food prices and supplies. However, cheap food imports also act as a disincentive for domestic production. Overall, regional trade benefits consumers through lower food prices but hurts producers and farm laborers by reducing incomes. Kenya requires policies to better redistribute food surpluses, improve infrastructure to reduce trade barriers, and support domestic agriculture.
Fead project revised (no animations)
This document provides an overview of the Geneva Resource Centre presentation by Julian Mukiibi. The presentation outlines the context, objectives, implementation activities and milestones, performance indicators, and challenges of the FEAD project. The objectives are to develop an enabling environment for private sector agriculture and strengthen networks between stakeholders. Implementation includes research in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, along with advocacy events in those countries and in Geneva. Milestones include completing policy briefs and advocacy dialogues. Challenges include timely delivery and ensuring stakeholder engagement, but the project aims to be sustainable and replicated in other countries.
Session iv presentation rk+csend
This document summarizes the development and application of the Inclusive Trade Policy Making Index (ITPMI). The ITPMI was first applied in 2009 to assess the inclusiveness of trade policymaking processes in five countries. It analyzed participation of key actors like government ministries, private sector, and civil society organizations. Based on lessons from 2009, the ITPMI questionnaire was improved for a 2010 survey. Factor analysis of 2010 results validated the conceptual framework and identified three dimensions of governance, participation, and representation. Going forward, the ITPMI aims to strengthen methodology, expand its database, and use it to promote more inclusive development approaches beyond trade policy or specific countries.
Tanzania presentation3
The document discusses the key stakeholders in Tanzania's national trade policy process and their roles and influence. It identifies the main stakeholders as government bodies, farmers/cooperatives, workers unions, industrialists, traders, academics/researchers, NGOs, political parties, and special interest groups. While many groups have a stake in trade policy, the most influential are industrial organizations like manufacturers' associations due to their resources and unified interests. Strengthening stakeholders' participation requires addressing lack of knowledge and resources through training programs. Ongoing public-private dialogue platforms are also important to ensure all voices can be heard in developing trade policy.
Informal stakeholder meeting_tanzania_ppt-monica
1) The document discusses regional trade in agriculture within the East African Community (EAC) and its implications for food security and rural livelihoods in Tanzania.
2) It finds that while trade among EAC members has increased, Tanzania's share of imports has declined. However, Tanzania's exports to the EAC, particularly Kenya, have increased significantly.
3) The document analyzes how cross-border agricultural trade can both positively and negatively impact food security and rural livelihoods in Tanzania. Expanding markets and employment opportunities can improve conditions, but trade barriers and price volatility pose challenges.

Zambia nd2010 ppt-mudenda
The document summarizes key findings from a study on agricultural productivity, rural livelihoods, and trade in Zambia. It finds that while agriculture contributes significantly to Zambia's GDP and employment, productivity among small-scale farmers is below regional levels due to various constraints. These include lack of infrastructure, inputs, financing, and market access. The government is working to address these challenges and facilitate regional trade through various policy reforms and initiatives. However, more efforts are still needed to improve agricultural productivity and trade to reduce widespread rural poverty in Zambia.
Zambia nd2010 ppt-mudenda
The document summarizes key information about agriculture in Zambia including:
1) Agriculture contributes significantly to Zambia's economy through GDP, employment, and exports but productivity is low, especially for small-scale farmers.
2) Poverty is high in rural areas where most people depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Improving productivity and trade could help reduce poverty.
3) Zambia has undertaken reforms and trade agreements to facilitate agricultural trade but infrastructure and policy inconsistencies remain challenges, particularly for small-scale farmers and trade corridors.
Zambia presentation1
The document discusses the role of Zambia's Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry (MCTI) in the country's trade policymaking process. It outlines that MCTI is recognized as the custodian of trade policy in Zambia. The MCTI has been consulted on trade policy changes at both the regional and international levels through its participation in organizations like COMESA, SADC, and the WTO. Domestically, the MCTI initiates and concludes changes to Zambia's trade policy and consults with stakeholders through the National Working Group on Trade.

The document provides an introduction to the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and an overview of the status of negotiations under the Doha Round. It discusses the key pillars and objectives of the AoA, including market access, domestic support, and export competition. It then summarizes the negotiating process and positions on agriculture since the Doha Round was launched in 2001, including draft modalities from 2008 that proposed formulas for reducing tariffs and domestic support.
Uganda presentation4
The document summarizes the trade policy making process in Uganda and the role of civil society organizations (CSOs). It describes how the Ugandan government developed a National Trade Policy in 2007 with input from stakeholders like CSOs. CSOs participated in consultations and provided feedback to policy drafts with the aim of creating a pro-human development trade policy. However, CSO engagement was ad hoc and their influence was limited. Moving forward, the document recommends that CSOs more actively monitor implementation and strategize for participating in the next policy review.
Uganda presentation3
Research organizations play an important role in national trade policymaking by carrying out independent research to guide policy development and implementation. They provide analysis of ongoing trade processes and policy options. In Uganda, research organizations input into trade policy documents and support trade negotiations. They produce quick response analyses that outline details of trade liberalization schedules, including the timeframe, value, and percentage of tariff lines liberalized for various goods. However, these organizations face challenges such maintaining credibility, remaining ideologically neutral, obtaining untied financing, and recruiting and retaining qualified researchers.
Uganda presentation2
The document summarizes the role of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry & Fisheries (MAAIF) in Uganda's trade policy making process. MAAIF's key responsibilities relate to supporting agricultural production but it has limited involvement in trade policy discussions. It currently has only one representative in the trade policy committee, which MAAIF views as insufficient given agriculture's importance to Uganda's economy and trade. MAAIF faces challenges providing input and would like greater representation in trade discussions. Coordination between Uganda's institutions involved in trade matters also needs improvement.
