Ahead of the Fourteenth WTO Ministerial Conference, TESS is partnering with the Remaking Trade Project, ODI Global, the Trade Negotiations and Investment Forum (TNIF), the International Relations Institute of Cameroon, and the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) to convene this high level event.
Bringing together policymakers, regional institutions, leading trade experts and partners, the workshop will explore how Africa can shape WTO reform to advance sustainability, equity and development priorities.
The discussions will:
- Examine governance and institutional reform to enhance inclusiveness and restore trust in the multilateral system
- Assess fairness, Special and Differential Treatment, subsidies and policy space from a development perspective
- Address climate-related trade measures, digital trade and emerging technologies through an equity-informed lens
The outcomes of this workshop will inform our engagement throughout MC14 week and contribute to longer-term thinking on reforming the multilateral trading system.
Please note that this event is by invitation only.
