The Knowledge Sharing Event on Trade and Investment Good Practices was organised by the TradeCom II PMU from 20 to 21 february 2018, aimed at disseminating, as widely as possible, relevant “good practices” developed by TCII-supported programmes since the commencement of its implementationin December 2015. The Knowledge Sharing Event was attended by a total of 110 participants mostly representing the beneficiary ACP Countries and Regional Economics Communities (RECs).
Five clusters of “good practice” cases were proposed for the first round of knowledge sharing from the 23 programmes implemented by the TradeCom II Programme under its first Programme Estimate. These good practice cases were built around the following targeted outputs:
- Trade Policy and regulation
- The EPA and WTO Processes
- Custom Matters
- Quality Infrastructure
- Trade and Investment (The European Investment Plan; Private sector competitiveness)
The Event was thought by all the participants to have been a great success in terms of participation and quality of discussions and demonstration of good practice experiences from the national and regional programmes supported by the TCII Programme.
The background document and a detailed report of the Knowledge Sharing seminar, are available and downloadable from the Tradecom II website and from the Capacity4dev platform.
