The Trade Policy Training Centre in Africa (trapca) proudly celebrates an incredible milestone as 39 students from 24 African countries successfully defended their MSc theses in International Trade Policy and Trade Law. This accomplishment marks the final step in their academic journey as they prepare to graduate in just a few days.

The program empowers our students to address Africa’s trade challenges while leveraging its opportunities, ensuring they are equipped to shape policies that reflect the continent’s unique trade environment.

This cohort, representing diverse African regions and trade contexts, has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to academic excellence and practical solutions. Their research spans critical areas, such as:

  • Strengthening regional integration under the AfCFTA

This moment will formally recognize their hard work, perseverance, and intellectual growth during their time at trapca. As these soon-to-be graduates prepare to step into their roles as trade professionals, trapca is confident they will significantly contribute to advancing Africa’s regional and global trade interests.

Their achievements reflect the transformative power of education and the potential for Africa’s trade landscape to thrive through evidence-based policymaking. We are confident they will play a pivotal role in ensuring Africa benefits fully from international trade.

To our Graduates: You came, worked hard, and conquered! We are excited to see how you will influence Africa’s trade policies, negotiations, and development strategies.
