Digital trade for Africa

Digital trade presents significant opportunities for economies to boost growth, create jobs and reduce poverty, but more needs to be done to help African economies harness these benefits. This is the objective of a WTO-World Bank project presented by the WTO Director-General, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, World Bank Vice Presidents Pablo Saavedra and Ousmane Diagana and the Trade Ministers of Benin and Rwanda, Shadiya Alimatou Assouman and Jean Chrysostome Ngabitsinze, at an event in Abu Dhabi on the eve of the 13th Ministerial Conference on 24 February.
