About us
tralac is a non-profit capacity-building organisation developing trade-related capacity in east and southern Africa in order to assist countries in the region to produce tradables competitively, to enhance their trade performance and to ensure that trade contributes to development within a rules-based system of international trade governance. tralac’s capacity building programme involves three main areas of work: 1) Applied trade law and policy research and analysis addressing the most pressing trade matters for countries in east and southern Africa, disseminated in the form of trade briefs, working papers and monographs; 2) Training, through tailored short courses covering a range of trade-related topics, trade policy and data analysis workshops (Geek Weeks), and e-learning courses (launching in March 2017); and 3) Policy dialogue through the tralac website and electronic newsletter, social media and events such as the tralac Annual Conference, which has become an important forum for discussing the region’s trade agenda.

The May 2024 South African election results indicated no clear winner. The outcome of the 2024 election has thus been described as “a monumental shift in the country’s political landscape”. It has resulted, after intense discussions in the ANC, in the formation of a Government of National Unity (GNU). In this Trade Report, we explain how the GNU came about and how it will function, what governance reforms could be expected, and what would happen if it fell apart. We also speculate about what may now happen in respect of trade and foreign relations. 🇿🇦 ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hqjoSO

The United Nations (UN) Pact for the Future was adopted on 22 September, together with two annexes, the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations. This is the culmination of a three-year process and is expected to define the legacy of current Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The UN calls it ‘a ground-breaking pact … to transform global governance’ and described it as ‘the most wide-ranging international agreement in many years’. But the agreement may not be quite as epoch-shaping as the UN claims. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3BOrQe0 #SummitoftheFuture
