SUMMARY:Building Resilience in East African Economies
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shock waves around the world and disrupted global production and supply chains\, resulting in a trade plunge of unprecedented proportions. \n \nDespite the rapid response by African countries\, well-known structural vulnerabilities such as high dependency on imports and weak production have overexposed African countries to the economic consequences of the pandemic. This has sparred the debate on how the pandemic will affect trade in the region (and Africa) including production and supply chain decisions by companies as well as policy responses by Governments. \n \n“Will we move further on the path towards costly fragmentation or will we react to the ongoing shocks with renewed cooperation?” \n \nJoin us for a stimulating discussion with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and Trademark East Africa (TMEA) on Thursday August 6\, 2020 at 9 a.m.

SUMMARY:U.S. – Kenya Free Trade Agreement
DESCRIPTION:Kenya and the U.S. have entered into negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA)\, heralding opportunity for Kenyan agricultural goods\, among others\, to enjoy increased access to the U.S. market beyond the AGOA. \n \nThe Ministry of Industrialization\, Trade and Enterprise Development estimates that if Kenya were to raise its agriculture exports (amongst other products) to the U.S. by only 5%\, Kenya could potentially realize gains in excess of KES 1.8 trillion. \n \nFurthermore\, at the launch of the talks\, both countries signed a Co-operation framework to build trade capacity to maximize Kenya’s utilization of trade benefits in the remaining years of AGOA and support the development and competitiveness of the agriculture sector. \n \nJoin us on Thursday August 13\, 2020 at 4 p.m. as we delve into the potential benefits of a Kenya – U.S. Trade Agreement on Kenya’s Agriculture sector and how the sector can position and ready itself to benefit. \n\nDiscussion Areas \n\nWhere does Kenya’s competitive advantage lay and how to we ensure the greatest gains from it?\nWhat lessons we can learn from other trade agreements like the US-Morocco FTA and AGOA – How can we build on these for better outcomes from the FTA?\nHow do we prepare the Agriculture sector for investment\, knowledge\, and technology transfer?\nHow can we ensure high value market entry for Kenyan produce?\n\n \nClick on the link below to register.

SUMMARY:A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement
DESCRIPTION:A Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is expected to benefit Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with increased trade opportunities\, increased investment\, and partnership opportunities with both large and small U.S. companies. Increased investment and partnerships will provide transfer of knowledge\, expertise and technology thereby enhancing the quality and competitiveness of goods and services\, spurring growth. \n \nInternational trade has been traditionally viewed as the preserve of large companies. However recent research suggests that there are great gains for SMEs by engaging in international trade and there is demonstrated importance in “learning by exporting”. \n \nIn order to foster greater participation by SMEs however\, there needs to be concerted efforts to help them prepare for the opportunities that an FTA can bring. \n \nJoin us and our diverse\, experienced panel on August 27\, 2020 3-4.30 pm EAT / 8-9:30 am EST as we discuss: \n \n\nPotential opportunities/benefits of an FTA for SMEs.\nHow SMEs can prepare themselves for international trade.\nPossible policy interventions that can enable effective SME participation in the global marketplace.
