In the summmer of 2015, International Economics, through its internal staff and an external consultant, began assisting the Ministry of Trade and Industry in reviewing Botswana’s existing trade policy framework and preparing a draft revised National Trade Policy. The project involves: (1) carrying out an in-depth assessment of Botswana’s trade performance; (2) identifying economic, policy and institutional constraints facing the country; (3) recommending possible policy measures and options to address these constraints; and (4) providing the first draft of the revised National Trade Policy document with an implementation matrix and through a presentation at a stakeholder workshop in the country.
