The land is one of the most important inputs / factors of production in all productive sectors, but more importantly, the ownership / lease of the land is protected by law for the security / sustainability of the works practiced on it. Therefore, the government of Sudan has embarked on the enactment of many laws that regulate / control the disposal of lands. We mention some of them: Law Land settlement and registration for the year 1925AD, the land expropriation law for the year 1930AD, the Public Sector Facilities Disposition Law for the year 1990AD, the building rent law for the year 1991AD, the Urban Planning and Land Management Act 1994G, the National Land Commission Act 2009G.
Although the laws treat women as the treatment of men in land laws, women still enjoy the rights of land a challenge in Sudan, despite the efforts made by activists and civil society organizations to address this challenge through ways to change the norms and traditions that deny women Enjoying its inheritance from lands, even if it owns it does not enjoy disposing of it. The state of Khartoum as a state model has many regulations, foundations and controls, including the following:
Land regulations are the foundations that regulate work under the Urban Planning and Disposal of Land Act of 1994 and relate to the rights of citizens and institutions to obtain land for the purpose of housing, shelter and the practice of various other activities, commercial, industrial, service, and the establishment of public facilities from Riyadh Children, schools, universities, places of worship, hospitals, stadiums, etc. There is no difference in that between a man and a woman when the conditions are met and there are no conditions provided that a distinction is made between a man and a woman and the person who gets the land whether a man or a woman has the right to use according to the purpose for which the land was granted.

Eswatini belongs to three economic blocks including the Southern African Customs Union, Southern African Development Community and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa.
Established in 1910, SACU facilitates duty-free trade among the five-member states. SADC is a 14-member state body established as Free Trade Area (FTA) in 2008. The 21-member state COMESA is a free trade area formed in 1994 to replace a Preferential Trade Area which had existed since 1981. The establishment of a single market through the merged Tripartite Free Trade Area (COMESA, the East African Community [EAC], and SADC was formally launched in June 2015. As part of COMESA, SADC, and SACU, Eswatini is a party to SACU-US TIDCA, SACU – Mercosur, SADC Investment Protocol, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)-SACU FTA, the COMESA-US TIFA, and the SADC –EAC-COMESA TFTA. Eswatini signed and ratified the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in 2016.
These trade agreements are significant to women in business in Eswatini as they allow them to sell their products duty free thereby promoting trade and economic activity across the region. Eswatini has also developed a trade portal which makes reliable trade-related information accessible to the private sector, while Eswatini Business organizes activities to make these instruments known to businesspeople.

1. Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Seychelles first became a member of the SADC in September 1997, and although it withdrew in 2004, it formally rejoined the bloc in 2008. In May 2015, Seychelles formally acceded to the SADC Free Trade Area (FTA).
2. Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)
Seychelles became a member of COMESA in June 1993 when it was still the Preferential Trade Area (PTA) for Eastern and Southern Africa. In November 2007, The Council of Ministers agreed to allow Seychelles to join the FTA, and the subsequent COMESA FTA regulations were published in Seychelles on 25 May 2009 with effect from 11 May 2009.
3. Indian Ocean Commission (IOC)
The Indian Ocean Commission is an intergovernmental organization that joins Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion and Seychelles together to encourage cooperation. It was started in 1984 under the General Victoria Agreement.
The original aim of IOC was to encourage trade and tourism. Seychelles currently gives preferential rates to imports of goods originating from member states of the IOC in the form of a 5% reduction on the trade tax rates. This however applies to only selected products.
4. Tripartite FTA
First Tripartite Summit, held on 22 October 2008 in Kampala, Uganda, approved the expeditious establishment of a Free Trade Area (FTA), encompassing the Member/ Partner States of the three Regional Economic Communities (RECs). It is envisaged that the twenty-six (26) countries will engage in negotiations for the establishment of a Tripartite FTA, recognizing that substantial progress on trade liberalization has been achieved within their three RECs.
The establishment of the Tripartite FTA will build upon and consolidate the RECs acquis. The negotiations shall be in two phases as follows:
i) first phase will cover negotiations on the following areas: tariff liberalization, rules of origin, dispute resolution, Customs procedures and simplification of Customs documentation, transit procedures, non-tariff barriers, trade remedies, technical barriers to trade and sanitary and Phyto-sanitary measures.
ii) Movement of business persons will be dealt with during the first phase of negotiations as a parallel and separate track.
iii) second phase will cover negotiations on the following areas: trade in services, intellectual property rights, competition policy, and trade development and competitiveness. The Tripartite process is a means of removing administrative burden and other technical difficulties associated with multiple membership.
5. Other Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs)
Seychelles is negotiating a comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EC so as to achieve a trade agreement between the two counterparts which are compatible to international trade rules.
Seychelles signed the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (CPA) in 2000 together with 77 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries with the member states of the EU. The Agreement provided non-reciprocal preferential market access to the EC for goods originating from these countries. Given that the EPA negotiations were taking longer than expected to conclude, Seychelles signed an interim agreement with the EC in 2008 to prevent trade disruption until the finalization of the comprehensive EPA.
Seychelles exports its products to the EC at duty free quota free and started implementing reciprocal treatment to imports from EC in January 2013.
6. The World Trade Organization
Seychelles applied for accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995; however due to human resource and capacity constraints, this was put on hold from 1997. The process was re-initiated in 2008 with the resubmission of its Memorandum of Foreign Trade Regime (MOFTR) in 2009 which provided an overview of how trade policy in Seychelles is being administered. A
s part of the negotiating process, Seychelles concluded bilateral agreements with a number of WTO members, namely; Oman, Mauritius, Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, European Union, Thailand Japan and the United States. At the National Level, a number of steering committees was established to ensure that the decision-making process is as inclusive as possible.
Technical recommendations stem from the four sub-committees and feed into the National Working Group. Seychelles also made significant progress in the development of the MOFTR (submitted in 2009), with the same having now evolved into a Draft Working Party report which was tabled at the Working Party meeting for Seychelles accession to the WTO, held in October 2014.
Seychelles accession package was adopted by the General Council in December 2014. On 24 March 2015, the National Assembly of the Republic of Seychelles by a historic vote, unanimously enacted into law the Protocol on the accession of Seychelles to the WTO.

This legislative framework makes Tunisia an ideal space for business and investment, in addition to the proximity factors of the European Arab and African market.
Multilateral and bilateral agreements now contribute to the consolidation of Tunisia's position and its membership in its regional and international environment.

Egypt occupies a central position between the circles of supply and between the regions of production and consumption, and between continents and the oceans, and has one of the most important navigation arteries in the world.
Egypt’s policy is to position itself as a global hub for regional services, production and re-export; creating jobs and economic growth by opening new markets for Egyptian products while simultaneously attracting Foreign Direct Investment from corporations looking to harness Egypt’s unique basket of preferential trade agreements, highly competitive and talented labor force and utility costs, as well as proximity to key global markets. Together, these advantages make Egypt an ideal hub from which to export to the rest of the world.
The trade agreements Egypt has signed give women in business the ability to export their products to all Arab countries (free trade exchange among Arab countries), COMESA countries and the EU agreement which creates a free trade area between the EU and Egypt by removing tariffs on industrial products and making agricultural products easier to trade.

COMESA: Within the framework of COMESA, the DRC is a member of the COMESA free trade area but the DRC has not yet joined the customs union although it had requested the moratorium to join the free area. exchange. This moratorium has already ended.
The development of the DRC's trade relations with Zambia and South Africa does not result from the existence of regional agreements but from other factors such as the existence of a road and rail network.
The Continental Free Trade Zone A frican (ZLECA, ZLEC or Zlecaf):
The DRC is among the 54 countries signatory to the African Free Trade Area agreement , but the ratification process is underway at the parliamentary level.

Concerning services, out of the 12 sectors and 166 sub-sectors, the Head of State chose 5 sectors to be liberalized; namely: the service sector provided to companies (professional service), transport sector, tourism, communication and the finance sector. The rest will liberalize. Gradually.

Sudan is working to integrate into the regional and global economy, by reviewing the bilateral agreements in line with national interests and regional and international obligations, and taking advantage of the advantages and preferential transactions granted by the bilateral, regional and global agreements and systems of trade preferences. Sudan is a member of some regional and international organizations and groups and through its membership it has signed a number of important trade agreements and protocols and benefited from the preferences enjoyed by some of these agreements.
There is no clear positive discrimination for business women in these agreements, but there is also no negative discrimination for them from businessmen, meaning that business women benefit from all preferences from zero tariffs with some countries or even some commodities as businessmen do.
Sudan joined COMESA in 1990. Sudan, through its membership in the COMESA that spanned nearly thirty years, was able to promote joint development on the economic and political levels, and this included all industrial sectors, agricultural, transport, trade, finance, energy, insurance, customs, statistics, investment and others.
The tripartite aims at economic integration, the development of the three regions, and the establishment of a large market for goods and services of more than 620 million people. It also aims to free movement of business, money, and natural persons, and the establishment of a customs union. The tripartite partnership agreement was signed between SADC IAC and COMESA in Sharm El-Sheikh - Egypt in June 2015 AD, signed by 26 countries of Sudan, among them, 5 countries have ratified ten countries that initiated the ratification procedures Sudan, among them.
Sudan joined the Greater Arab Free Trade Zone in September 2002 AD. Sudan gained a preferential advantage according to a gradual customs reduction on imports of 20% annually starting in 2006. Then 10% in the year 2008 AD, then Sudan reached the zero tariff in 2012. As for exports, the customs reduction has been included in 2003 by 60%, and in 2004, it reached 80%, and in 2005, it reached 100%.
Agreement to facilitate trade movement \ includes in its membership all the countries of the African Union (55) countries, which will constitute the largest free trade area in the world in terms of the number of member states and includes more than 1.2 billion people. Sudan signed the agreement on the continental free trade zone in March 2018 and is working on completing the procedures for ratification by the legislative authorities in addition to participating in the negotiations to establish this zone.
Sudan has become a coordinator of economic and commercial integration in the authority that aims to promote joint development strategies and coordination of economic and social policies, achieving food security, peace and conflict disputes, coordination in the field of trade, transport, communications and agriculture, and infrastructure development and improvement. The member countries are Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan.
Sudan signed the framework agreement for this system on May 13, 1992. This system of trade preferences between the member countries of the Organization of the Islamic Conference is one of the projects of the Standing Committee for Economic and Trade Cooperation of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (COMCEC) with the aim of promoting intra-trade between member countries through the exchange of trade preferences among them. The agreement entered into force in 2002. Sudan is an active member of the six working groups for COMCEC activities.
This system is a multilateral treaty in which the member states of the Group of 77 participate, and it sets a comprehensive and specific framework for the rules of trade relations among member states on the basis of exchanging customs preferences and benefits. Sudan signed the Comprehensive System of Trade Preferences agreement in 1991.
The generalized system of preferences was established in the framework of the Special Committee on Trade Preferences, which is affiliated with the Trade and Development Board at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 1970, to make it from that time a subject of economic cooperation between developed and developing countries. It is a system that provides a reduction in the customs tariff for the least developed countries. Sudan benefits from this system in the field of sugar exports.
It is the group of African, Caribbean and Pacific countries that was established under the Georgetown Agreement in 1975. The main objectives of the group are sustainable development and poverty reduction within its member states, as well as greater integration into the global economy. As for Sudan, it is not a signatory to the agreement.
There are many agreements not implemented that we have not monitored here, but all of the above agreements are implemented except for the tripartite and continental and are in the process of ratification and partnership with the European Union that Sudan has not yet signed.
Yes, they are seminars and workshops to introduce the agreements and the extent of implementation
Not yet, but in the framework of working with the Ministry's Information Center
Zambia belongs to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, which is a free trade area with 21 Member States stretching from Tunisia to Eswatini. COMESA was formed in December 1994, replacing a Preferential Trade Area which had existed since 1981. Zambia also belongs to the 14-member Southern African Development Community (SADC), which established a Free Trade Area (FTA) in 2008. The establishment of a single market through the merged Tripartite Free Trade Area (COMESA, the East African Community [EAC], and SADC was formally launched in June 2015.
Zambia has duty-free and quota-free access to the EU market, under the “Everything but Arms" (EBA) scheme for the world’s Least-Developed Countries (LDCs). Zambia is also eligible for trade benefits under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which provides duty-free/quota-free access to the U.S. market for most goods, including textiles and apparel.

Zimbabwe has entered into a number of trade agreements. The most common trade agreements are of the preferential and/or free trade type which are concluded in order to reduce (or eliminate) tariffs, quotas and other trade restrictions on qualifying products traded between the signatory countries.
The purpose of a Trade Agreement is to stimulate and encourage trade between the countries or group of countries that sign the agreement, by giving one another preferential treatment in the reduction or elimination of customs duties as well as removal/relaxation of quantitative restrictions. Exporters should be able to use this advantage as a marketing strategy to give their products a competitive price incentive to customers in the importing country.
Zimbabwe is a member of some Multilateral Trade Agreements. These are:
• Southern African Development Community (SADC)
• Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA)
• Interim Economic Partnership Agreement (iEPA) with the European Union
Duty and import related taxes constitute a large percentage of the final price for cross border transactions. A reduction or elimination of the duty gives the exporter a substantial advantage in terms of cost over competitors from countries that do not have similar trade agreements. Women entrepreneurs will benefit through a trade agreement they will able to use this advantage as a marketing strategy to give their products a competitive price incentive to customers in the importing country.
COMESA Simplified Trade Regime
Traders with consignments that are below US$1,000 can import with reduced duty rates on specified products.

Access to foreign markets and the consequent sustained economic growth, have led to the development of productive capacities, more employment opportunities, and sustainable livelihoods.
Gender issues need to be mainstreamed in trade policies, and subsequently, trade issues need to be factored into development policies.
Mainstreaming gender in trade policies means assessing the impacts of these policies on the well being of men and women and ultimately on the household and community.
What was missing in Rwanda was an assessment of the effects of trade liberalization and trade agreements on women as a discrete sector of the population.
Such an assessment was crucial to making trade an instrument for development in the country. It has helped in better understanding the specific challenges and opportunities that women face as a result of market liberalization.
This has paved way for the design and implementation of complementary policies aimed at maximizing opportunities for women and facilitating the transition of women to more competitive and better rewarded activities.
Women entrepreneurs are a significant force in Rwanda's private sector.
Women head 42% of enterprises. They comprise 58% of enterprises in the informal sector, which accounts for 30% of GDP.
Rwanda is signatory to several bilateral and multi-lateral trade agreements. The agreements present many opportunities for traders in Rwanda.

Since its independence in 1993, Eritrea has signed various bilateral trade agreements including with Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Turkey. Eritrea has also joined different Regional Economic Communities in Africa such as COMESA, IGAD and CEN-SAD.
Eritrea reduced its Most Favored Nation (MFN) duties by 80 percent on imports originating from COMESA Member States, and at the moment it only charges 20% of the MFN duty. It is important to note that the threshold for acceding to the full FTA is 100 percent tariff liberalization coupled with elimination of non-tariff and other technical barriers to trade.
The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) was created in 1996 to succeed the Intergovernmental Authority on Drought and Development that was founded in 1986 to deal with issues related to drought and desertification in the Horn Africa. Eritrea is one of the founding members of IGAD.
Eritrea had also ratified the revised treaty of the CEN-SAD.
The tariff reduction for goods originating from COMESA Member States is expected to benefit the potential exporters in general and women in business in particular. Removal of customs duties on exports will enable exporters to be competitive in the regional markets.
Eritrea is one of the beneficiaries from the EU Generalized System of Preference (GSP) scheme. Women engaged in manufacturing and agriculture can benefit from this scheme.
The EU has introduced REX (Registered Exporters) System. It is a self certification of origin by registered exporters making out so-called statements on origin. The threshold for which an exporter does not need to be registered in the REX System is 6,000 EUR. This means any exporter, manufacturer or trader from the beneficiary countries with export value less than 6,000 EUR is not required to be registered in the system.
The Department of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, in collaboration with COMESA, organizes different workshops aimed at sensitizing the relevant stakeholders and the private sector on issues related to COMESA programs, Rules of Origin, regional integration and others.
The responsibility for concluding treaties involving the Republic of Kenya lies with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry is responsible for policy aspects, as well as matters of form and procedure.

Trade agreements are contractual arrangements between countries governing their trade relationships. They are either bilateral or multilateral and are important because they eliminate trade barriers (e.g. tariffs, quotas or prohibitive standards). Thus, they lead to creation of new markets.
Malawi has five bilateral trade agreements. The key features of these bilateral trade agreements are highlighted below:
Goods originated from either country are exported to the other on import duty free status basis. To enjoy the provision of this agreement, Malawian producers are required to apply to the Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) which verifies the origin of the goods. To qualify the goods should be wholly produced in Malawi. Otherwise their domestic value addition should not be at least 25%. Moreover, the goods should be accompanied by a certificate of origin. The Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI) issues the certificate of origin.
This agreement grants duty free access to goods originating from the two countries except those on the Exclusion List. Goods on the Exclusion List include sugar, beer, Coca-Cola and other branded soft drinks, manufactured tobacco, refined edible oil, dressed chicken, table eggs, unmanufactured tobacco, stationary, petroleum products, firearms, ammunition, and explosives. Since Mozambique is an important transit route for Malawi’s imports, this agreement also includes provisions for trade facilitation.
The Malawi-South Africa bilateral trade agreement was negotiated as part of the support programs by the Government of South Africa to aid the economic development of Malawi. Therefore, the agreement is non-reciprocal or asymmetrical. Malawi exports to South Africa enjoy duty-free treatment while imports from South Africa into Malawi are dutiable at the normal (Most Favoured Nation) rates applied to any other country.
South Africa is the major export market for Malawi in Africa accounting for over 35% of Malawi’s total exports. Major exports include tobacco, farm vegetables, rubber, oil seeds and fruit, clothing and iron. Imports include fertilizers, pharmaceutical products, dairy products, mineral fuels, machinery, glassware, stationery, chemical compounds, motor vehicle and industrial spares.
Malawi and Botswana’s trade relations are regulated by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, Southern African Development Community (SADC) Trade Protocol and a Customs Agreement of 1956. The latter allows entry of goods grown, produced or manufactured in either country duty-free, except potable spirits and spirituous liquors. Malawi’s major exports to Botswana include tobacco, tea, timber, plywood/block board, textiles and garments and cotton lint. Malawi imports wheat flour, salt, soda ash, plastic products and pharmaceutical products from Botswana.
The Agreement allows duty free entry into China of Malawi's major exports such as tobacco, tea, sugar cane, coffee and legumes. Malawi’s trade volume with China hit US$100 million in 2012, a 400-percent jump from 2010.
Malawi and Tanzania trade relations are regulated by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement and the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Trade under the Most Favoured Nation Agreement. There is no Bilateral Trade Agreement between the two countries. However, Malawi and Tanzania established a Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation (JPCC) in April, 1993 in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Malawi is part of the COMESA Free Trade Area (FTA), which was achieved on 31 October 2000. Eleven of COMESA's 21 Member States belong to the FTA. These, according to the COMESA website, include; Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Rwanda, Sudan, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The FTA members eliminated their tariffs on COMESA originating products, in accordance with the tariff reduction schedule adopted in 1992. They are also working on the eventual elimination of quantitative restrictions and other non-tariff barriers.
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Trade Protocol was signed in 1996 to promote intra-regional trade in goods and services through reduction and eventual removal of tariffs and non-tariff barriers in the region. It was also aimed at enhancing economic development, diversification, and industrialization of the region. SADC Member States are Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Madagascar, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. A SADC Free Trade Area was established in January 2008. Malawi has not reached the minimum threshold of 85% trade liberalization which was agreed to be the minimum for the Free Trade Area. Meanwhile Malawi has liberalized 70% of her trade with SADC. Malawi is, therefore, part of the SADC FTA and is working on removing tariffs on the remaining products.
Malawi is a member of the World Trade Organization, a legal institution of the multilateral trading system promoting the negotiations for liberalisation of trade in goods and services through removal of barriers to trade. The organisation is also responsible for development of international trade rules and settlement of trade disputes. The WTO came into being on 1st January 1995 (After the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade-GATT 1947).
Malawi is a party to the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) – European Union (EU) Partnership Agreement. Under the Agreement ACP countries enjoy duty-free market access to the European Union. Since its inception in the 1970s, the Agreement has been revised several times. The last revision was done in 2000 and a new agreement (Cotonou Agreement) was signed which introduced a requirement for ACP countries to offer reciprocal duty-free treatment to imports from the EU in line with the World Trade Organisation rules.
Since 2002, ACP countries have been negotiating the new trade arrangements with the EU known as Economic Partnership Agreements. The negotiations are being done in regional configurations. Malawi is negotiating for an EPA under the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) configuration which comprises Burundi, Comoros, Seychelles, DR Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Seychelles, Rwanda Sudan, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, Malawi is trading with the EU through the Everything But Arms a special arrangement for Least Developed Countries under the EU Generalised System of Preferences.
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a United States Trade Act, enacted in May 2000 and renewed to 2025 enhances market access to the USA for qualifying Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Qualification for AGOA preferences is based on a set of conditions contained in the AGOA legislation. To qualify and remain eligible for AGOA, each country must be working to improve its rule of law, human rights, and respect for core labour standards.
Malawi's major exports to the USA under AGOA include agricultural products, followed by textiles and apparel products.

Sudan is working to integrate into the regional and global economy, by reviewing the bilateral agreements in line with national interests and regional and international obligations, and taking advantage of the advantages and preferential transactions granted by the bilateral, regional and global agreements and systems of trade preferences. Sudan is a member of some regional and international organizations and groups and through its membership it has signed a number of important trade agreements and protocols and benefited from the preferences enjoyed by some of these agreements.
There is no clear positive discrimination for business women in these agreements, but there is also no negative discrimination for them from businessmen, meaning that business women benefit from all preferences from zero tariffs with some countries or even some commodities as businessmen do.
Sudan joined COMESA in 1990. Sudan, through its membership in the COMESA that spanned nearly thirty years, was able to promote joint development on the economic and political levels, and this included all industrial sectors, agricultural, transport, trade, finance, energy, insurance, customs, statistics, investment and others.
The tripartite aims at economic integration, the development of the three regions, and the establishment of a large market for goods and services of more than 620 million people. It also aims to free movement of business, money, and natural persons, and the establishment of a customs union. The tripartite partnership agreement was signed between SADC IAC and COMESA in Sharm El-Sheikh - Egypt in June 2015 AD, signed by 26 countries of Sudan, among them, 5 countries have ratified ten countries that initiated the ratification procedures Sudan, among them.
Sudan joined the Greater Arab Free Trade Zone in September 2002 AD. Sudan gained a preferential advantage according to a gradual customs reduction on imports of 20% annually starting in 2006. Then 10% in the year 2008 AD, then Sudan reached the zero tariff in 2012. As for exports, the customs reduction has been included in 2003 by 60%, and in 2004, it reached 80%, and in 2005, it reached 100%.
Agreement to facilitate trade movement \ includes in its membership all the countries of the African Union (55) countries, which will constitute the largest free trade area in the world in terms of the number of member states and includes more than 1.2 billion people. Sudan signed the agreement on the continental free trade zone in March 2018 and is working on completing the procedures for ratification by the legislative authorities in addition to participating in the negotiations to establish this zone.
Sudan has become a coordinator of economic and commercial integration in the authority that aims to promote joint development strategies and coordination of economic and social policies, achieving food security, peace and conflict disputes, coordination in the field of trade, transport, communications and agriculture, and infrastructure development and improvement. The member countries are Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda and South Sudan.
Sudan signed the framework agreement for this system on May 13, 1992. This system of trade preferences between the member countries of the Organization of the Islamic Conference is one of the projects of the Standing Committee for Economic and Trade Cooperation of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (COMCEC) with the aim of promoting intra-trade between member countries through the exchange of trade preferences among them. The agreement entered into force in 2002. Sudan is an active member of the six working groups for COMCEC activities.
This system is a multilateral treaty in which the member states of the Group of 77 participate, and it sets a comprehensive and specific framework for the rules of trade relations among member states on the basis of exchanging customs preferences and benefits. Sudan signed the Comprehensive System of Trade Preferences agreement in 1991.
The generalized system of preferences was established in the framework of the Special Committee on Trade Preferences, which is affiliated with the Trade and Development Board at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 1970, to make it from that time a subject of economic cooperation between developed and developing countries. It is a system that provides a reduction in the customs tariff for the least developed countries. Sudan benefits from this system in the field of sugar exports.
It is the group of African, Caribbean and Pacific countries that was established under the Georgetown Agreement in 1975. The main objectives of the group are sustainable development and poverty reduction within its member states, as well as greater integration into the global economy. As for Sudan, it is not a signatory to the agreement.
There are many agreements not implemented that we have not monitored here, but all of the above agreements are implemented except for the tripartite and continental and are in the process of ratification and partnership with the European Union that Sudan has not yet signed.
Yes, they are seminars and workshops to introduce the agreements and the extent of implementation
Not yet, but in the framework of working with the Ministry's Information Center
The prosperity of commercial activity in Sudan dates back to the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries AD due to many factors, including the availability of economic ingredients in the waters of rivers and fertile soil, as well as the desert road network through which commercial convoys crossed. As for the beginning of the real export, it was after Sudan’s independence in 1956. The Ministry of Industry and Trade has one of its tasks and powers to prepare commercial policies, including the export policies that are issued It works through the Export Administration and in coordination with the relevant authorities to provide the foreign exchange necessary for growth and development needs and to address the trade balance deficit by expanding the base of exports and increasing returns by seeking to address the obstacles facing exports and exporters in the local and global markets. The administration is also keen on preserving the current foreign markets for Sudanese goods and products and seeking to open new markets in coordination with the National Chamber of Exporters and through the commodity trade regulation councils through which the ministry sought to involve the private sector in recommending what they see to increase exports.
