Developing and Facilitating Public - Private Dialogue

This project “Public-Private Sector Dialogue (PPD) for Trade and Investment - Regional and Country Programmes” seeks to mainstream advocacy throughout TMEA’s project clusters – i.e. in transport and logistics, trade facilitation, customs & tax, standards and NTBs. The programme seeks to enhance the private sector’s capacity to proactively and positively influence decision-making, dispute resolution, sustain political buy-in and commitment along TMEA’s project clusters hence reduce overall programme risks. While the challenges are broad; the programme will focus on goods, mirroring and enhancing Outcome I’s and II’s work in Strategy II in Transport and Logistics (Road, Rail and Air), Trade Facilitation, Customs & Taxes, Standards, NTBs and export capability. The programme will also adopt and adaptive strategy to ensure other issues that directly impact trade and investment are taken on-board as they occur.
