The coffee growers of Mount Elgon are just one example of Uganda's growing organic sector. In 2005, the value of organic exports was over $6 million. Yet many European importers are nervous about getting involved in business in Africa. Establishing the first connection face to face can improve trust between the parties. ITC provides support to the organic sector in Uganda, and in late April it set up a Buyers' Tour with the National Organic Agricultural Movement of Uganda. Seven European buyers interested in importing organic products from Uganda met exporters, farmers and key stakeholders in the organic sector during a five-day tour around the country. In Uganda there is high demand for organic products. Organics also help smallholders into the export market, as they can share the cost...

In 2008, ITC approached leaders in the fashion community and distributors in Italy and in the UK to test the potential market for bags and accessories produced in Africa. The aim was to build a direct connection with a major fashion house. Creative Director of Max&Co, Luisa Laudi, decided to use some of the samples of materials presented to develop a small collection of bags and scarves. Further samples were required from Uganda and Kenya, involving field missions to select the communities to produce them. Product development through an ethical fashion team was instigated in order to select the final groups of micro manufacturers. A group of 250 single women living on the outskirts of Dagoretti was chosen, together with a group of informal producers from Korogocho, near Nairobi. The...
In Uganda, the Good African Coffee company, in conjunction with ITC, is demonstrating how public-private partnership can make a significant impact on low-income rural communities. About 85% of Ugandans are farmers, but only a small percentage of Uganda's gross domestic product comes from agriculture due to lack of access to markets, poor export strategies and crude farming techniques. In 2007 the Ugandan public and private sectors launched their National Export Strategy and identified organic production as a promising market opportunity for smallholders who traditionally had the most precarious livelihoods and lowest incomes. Following on from this, in 2009 ITC's Trade and Environment Program helped more than 2,000 smallholder coffee farmers, mostly women, to convert to organic producti...

Over 20 African countries have set up arbitration and mediation centers since 1995, usually under a national chamber of commerce. They have flourished in part as alternatives to overburdened courts. As a follow-up to the 2nd ITC Symposium on the Management of Dispute Resolution Centres (Chamonix, France, May 2006), African arbitration institutions met in southern and western Africa. They looked at how to attract companies, both national and foreign, to resolve disputes in Africa rather than through European and American institutions, which happens at a high cost to the firms and to the detriment of Africa's legal community.

Governments conduct negotiations on the General Agreement on Trade in Services, but in practice it is businesses that trade. In least developed countries like Uganda, it is small firms that trade the most. "SMEs" in Uganda are not simply small and medium-sized enterprises, but small and micro enterprises. Because of their size, they can only influence trade negotiations through coalitions with firms that have similar features and challenges. Their effectiveness depends on the number and variety of the membership of such coalitions. When SME coalitions are seen to enrich the negotiations' menu with useful resources, there is no reason to exclude SME businesses from taking part in trade negotiations. In 1999, when Uganda's trade negotiations framework, the Inter Institutional Trade Commit...

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by women seeking trade support services in Africa, ITC developed the ACCESS! program in 2005 with the goal of providing greater participation of African business-women in international trade. Following the success of six training workshops that reached more than 60 business-women, ACCESS! Tunisia has already extended its core training and business counseling activities and developed targeted microcredit support for its clients. This pilot project allowed the participants to better understand international market trends and to create market niches, develop prototypes and test the receptiveness of foreign markets. Through this joint initiative, the ACCESS! Tunisia team and its focal point institution, La Maison de l'Exportateur-Tunisie, have helped ...
