New WTO-World Bank reports hail progress in advancing Africa’s digital trade

The WTO Secretariat and World Bank have successfully completed the pilot phase of their joint project “Digital Trade for Africa” with the publication of digital trade assessments for six African countries — Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and Rwanda. At an information session on 25 September, the two organizations briefed WTO members on key findings of the assessments and practical tools for broader application of these assessments. Started in 2023, the project aims to help African countries fully harness the benefits of digital trade and strengthen their development prospects.
