Interview with Josephine Mwangi, Manager, Agriculture & Agro-Industry Dept, AFDB
In this week's CTA Brussels video interview, Josephine Mwangi, Manager, Agriculture & Agro-Industry Dept, AFDB, explains why regional trade in Africa is a priority for the African Development Bank, and what the institution is doing to support regional integration across the continent.
The CTA Brussels News Service is providing EU-ACP policy news since 2004, on various key thematic areas. In addition to this news service, we also provide news on ACP intra-regional trade, and south-south cooperation (investments of emerging countries' in agriculture in the ACP regions). The main stories for the week are featured in our newsletter and all stories can be found in our Regional Trade and the South-South cooperation sections.
This publication presents a variety of comparable statistics that illustrate the developing relations between the European Union and Africa and provides important information to those interested in both continents, including political and business leadership, journalists and researchers, as well as the general public. Data about other regions/countries are also included to give a fuller picture of the relations between the European Union and Africa on the one hand, and the world as a whole on the other.
