The present project aims at the expansion of the intra-regional trade and investment links by identifying the untapped investment and trade potential in the sub-region, and putting into place the mechanisms to exploit it. The project is expected to create immediate investment/trade generating results. As such, it will also provide: i) Key inputs in the identification of constraints affecting intra-regional investment and trade expansion; ii) Capacity building for subregional/national business support organizations, which would be essential partners in the implementation of the programme This would be done through a four-fold strategy: 1) Undertaking of a comprehensive trade flow analysis in order to identify priority products/services having an intra-regional investment and trade potential; 2) Carry out a series of market surveys to document product/services-specific investment and trading complementarities through the identification of relevant players; 3) Organize specific trade and/or investment partnership fora for products/services for which there is a promising intra- regional trade and investment potential; 4)Support the development of specific tools for the promotion of networking arrangements within the business communities of the subregion |
