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 buye...

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 communitie...

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.

Uganda has enjoyed strong annual growth in exports in recent years and has made progress in diversifying its export base. However, much needs to be done if it is to realize by 2012 its National Export Strategy targets of increasing annual revenue to $5 billion per year (from around $1.8 billion), achieving a 16% contribution to gross domestic product and raising the per capita export ratio to $200 (from $82). A simple vision was articulated: "a dynamic and competitive export sector with more ...

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 t...

Africa had its own pavilion at Biofach, the World Organic Trade Fair in Nuremberg this year, which marked the first time African exporters were gathered under one roof in a concerted campaign to strengthen and promote 'Brand Africa'. The number of exhibitors more than doubled to 75 this year in an effort to bring more visibility to African exporters. They are, in short, working examples of the ITC maxim 'export impact for good' and the fair was a wonderful showcase for the changing face of Af...
