PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Trade between countries contributes to economic growth. Therefore, it is in the mutual interest of companies and governments to reduce trade barriers.
However, complex customs regulations and opaque border procedures hinder trade opportunities. This reduces the incentive for international companies to invest in countries with unfavorable trade and investment conditions.
Global changes such as climate change are also taking a toll. This particularly affects countries in the Global South, which are heavily dependent on natural resources and are particularly affected by its consequences.
In order to accommodate these changes, achieve global sustainability goals, and close investment gaps, a rethink and adaptation are needed, as well as a fairer design of the multilateral trading system.
Objective
Developing countries are integrated into global value chains through a rules-based, open, and fair trade and investment system. They make better use of the opportunities offered by global trade.

The project:
• plans and implements trade facilitation measures in various countries in Af
