TWN-Africa Staff Respond to Questions by Media re: UNCTAD EDAR Media Briefing on 18 June

Gyekye Tanoh paints a picture of the African continent in which South-South cooperation is based on Africans listening to their Southern counterparts instead of engaging.

Saying that since 2006, African countries have signed no less than 466 direct trade treaties, he maintains many of these treaties might contradict each other, given that most African countries have no coherent development strategies.

He further argues that the multiplicity of bilateral and investment treaties signed, coupled with the absence of a strategy for the continent makes the situation for the continent altogether worse.
