Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade will be holding a workshop on developing a trade policy in Windhoek today.<\/p>\n

According to the ministry’s spokesperson Elijah Mukubonda, the workshop will centre around coming up with a policy defining how the country will conduct business with bilateral, regional and multilateral trading partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will encompass the complete framework of laws, regulations, international agreements and the government’s guidelines and pronouncements on trade. This specific policy will play a key role in the flow of goods and services between Namibia and its trading partners,\u201d said Mukubonda.<\/p>\n

The main objective of the workshop is to solicit inputs on the draft policy document before it is submitted to Cabinet for approval. The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid format \u2013 both physically and virtually, he said.<\/p>\n

The draft trade policy was last reviewed during a capacity-building workshop on public policy development in October 2021.<\/p>\n

The purpose of that workshop was to enable participants and the technical experts to provide inputs into how best the trade policy could be refocused and refined.<\/p>\n

The workshop noted that more work was needed to improve associated policies, such as trade in goods and trade in services policies, and realigning the trade policy to the guidelines on the public policy making process.<\/p>\n

Senior officials from the ministry and representatives from United Nations agencies, particularly the Economic Commission for Africa, are expected to make a meaningful contribution and significant presentations.<\/p>\n
