African economies can bring about meaningful change through the transformation of the cross-border transport system, creating not only an environment that seeks to promote meaningful intra-Africa trade, but also increased levels of trade.
The Cross-Border Road Transport Agency (C-BRTA), in collaboration with other stakeholders in the transport and trade industry, recently hosted a trade and transport webinar which saw public sector stakeholders from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), East African Community (EAC), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) engaging on important matters affecting cross-border trade and transport in the region.
The main purpose of the seminar was to afford stakeholders the opportunity to discuss key issues that affect transport and trade in the SADC region, as well as to share information regarding interventions required to bring about efficiencies.
