Trade, Investment Climate and Regional Integration

Policy and institutional reform support for fair trade governance, a stronger investment climate, business environment improvement, and practical regional integration in Nigeria and across Africa.

Trade, Investment Climate and Regional Integration

Our work under this programme covers policy and institutional reform relating to trade governance, investment climate, regional integration, business environment reform, and implementation of national, regional, and continental economic frameworks, including the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

We explore the political economy of trade policy in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, interrogating the constraints to the realisation of stated policy goals and objectives at national, regional, and continental levels, and seeking creative ways to surmount those constraints.
