Duties and Responsibilities:

The African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC), through the Regional Integration & Trade Division, is a specialized unit within the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
Its mission is to act as the leading Africa-based Centre of excellence and a continental hub for providing and coordinating technical support for the development of trade policies in Africa.
The ATPC is implementing a project to build capacity of both the public and private sector stakeholders in African countries to better use preferential trade agreements and arrangements to reach their development aspirations.
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the enhancement of intra-African trade and the share of Africa in global trade through inclusive, sustainable and development-friendly trade reforms.
In the first phase of the project a series of research papers were developed.
These papers gathered primary survey and interview data virtually in 2020 and were designed to provide new answers to some of the critical challenges to how African traders use preferential trading regimes in Africa.
In the second phase of this project, the content of these papers was incorporated into the development of capacity building short courses.
The third phase of this project aims to provide technical assistance at the request of specific countries or regional economic communities to translate research and capacity building into policy action.
