CSEA Research Fellow, Dr. Oluwatosin Edafe and Anthony Okon, Research Associate, attended the Launch of the West African Competitiveness Observatory in Abuja, from May 21 to 22, 2024.
The event organized by the International Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva, Switzerland, and ECOWAS Commission, provided a platform for policymakers to analyse national and regional trade competitiveness.
Through the recently launched online tool, policymakers and businesses in West Africa can track their countries’ trade competitiveness and find new business opportunities in the region. The WACOMP Observatory tool will also facilitate regional collaboration by strengthening regional value chains.
Dr. Oluwatosin Edafe participated in a high-level panel discussion titled “Stronger Together – Competitiveness through Regional Value Chain Integration in West Africa,”.
