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.

Tanzania and Global Value Chains: Prioritizing Agriculture in the Industriali...
Tanzania has significant potential to participate in global value chains (GVCs) due to its strategic location, natural resources, and membership in regional trade agreements. However, its economy remains heavily reliant on agriculture which contributes 24.5% of GDP. To broaden GVC participation, Tanzania is taking steps like promoting investment in agro-processing, improving market infrastructure, and strengthening agricultural research. Key challenges include inadequate investment in agriculture and constraints in marketing. Tanzania also needs policies to reduce overregulation hindering exports, incentivize domestic production, and promote trade without risking food security.

Pb 20 value-addition-practices-to-agricultural-commodities-in-tanzania
Majority of crops in Tanzania are marketed in raw form, missing opportunities for higher earnings and employment. Agro-processing has potential to increase incomes through value addition and food security, but faces challenges like high costs and lack of appropriate processing machines. Despite these constraints, establishing small-scale agro-processing businesses and rural industries could boost incomes, extend shelf lives, and improve food security through value addition. Financial support for commercial farming would help develop the agricultural sector.

Country case studies KENYA
Kenya has implemented various industrial policies aimed at fostering industrialization and developing a globally competitive manufacturing sector by 2030. However, past policies based on import substitution and structural adjustment did not lead to significant industrial development. Kenya's current policies focus on improving infrastructure, access to finance, value addition in key sectors, innovation, and workforce skills. However, challenges remain including high costs, lack of competitiveness, weak policy coordination, and dumping of imports. Kenya is working to address these challenges through strategies like developing special economic zones and improving regional connectivity and trade.
Malawi National Industry Policy: Situation analysis: issues and evidence pape...
Industrial policy has a mixed track record at best, and governments have made costly mistakes. But industrial policy does not always fail. Indeed, government activity in markets is often the critical difference between sectors' growth and competitiveness. In this era of heightened activism as governments seek to restore economic growth, what matters is understanding what approaches are likely to work best, when and where. The worst outcome for governments is failing to do their homework and spending scarce public resources on ineffectual forays into the market. The latest economic literature on industrial policy is based on institutional and evolutionary economics. The former calls for industrial policy to be about the process of setting de facto policy; while the latter calls for it to be about the process of learning by the productive economy. Our assessment is that it should be about policy. Therefore we recommend to the Government of Malawi that the Industrial Policy to be primarily about: [1] getting the process for policy making and programming right, based on identifying and addressing binding constraints through coordinated policies and programs; [2] getting the process for productive economy learning right, based on supporting economic spill-overs and learning activities, networks and incentives; and [3] calling for policy and budgeting decisions (which set de facto policy), that are needed to address current binding constraints to industrialization, as identified in the National Export Strategy, the Diagnostic Trade Integrated Study and the background research for this Issues Paper on Industrial Policy.

Blog on trade Vs poverty
Uganda has implemented economic reforms and trade liberalization over the past 15 years through regional trade blocs like EAC and COMESA, attracting foreign investment and contributing to GDP growth of around 6% annually. However, insufficient infrastructure and Uganda's landlocked status have hindered export growth. Civil society organizations have helped improve farmers' incomes by supporting communities to raise quality of agricultural produce to meet market standards, as seen in Nakaseke district for maize. For Uganda to better penetrate regional and international markets and trade itself out of poverty, quality of exports must improve to expand trade opportunities in agriculture, which the economy largely depends on. Key factors that can achieve this include improving farmer profitability, export potential, infrastructure, access

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 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 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.

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.

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.
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 presentation4
CSOs play an important role in national trade policy making according to the document. 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.

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 presentation1
The document summarizes the process of developing Uganda's National Trade Policy.

It analyzes Uganda's trade situation and barriers and emphasizes trade linkages and complementarities with other policies.
Uganda nd2010 ppt-ndebesa
The document summarizes trends in Uganda's agriculture sector and its linkages to trade, rural livelihoods, and development. It finds that while agricultural productivity and GDP have grown, most farmers have not benefited due to declining terms of trade. Poverty remains high in rural areas despite employment growth in agriculture. National policies aim to boost productivity and competitiveness through investment and trade liberalization, but overreliance on neighboring countries' infrastructure constrains agricultural trade.
