On Monday, 13th July 2026, marks the official launch of another cohort of the ESAMI-trapca MSc Pre-requisite in Trade Policy and Trade Law – a Fully Funded Opportunity bringing together the continent’s emerging trade leaders.
For the next 6 weeks, participants will deepen their knowledge of international trade policy, trade law, and trade analysis while building the skills needed to drive Africa’s trade transformation and maximize opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and beyond.
This year’s cohort unites participants from 21 African countries; Botswana, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe
Different backgrounds. Diverse perspectives. One shared commitment: building a stronger, more integrated Africa through trade.
Our sincere appreciation goes to our valued partners whose unwavering support continues to make this fully-funded programme possible; Sida, the Embassy of Sweden in Addis Ababa, and the Lund University School of Economics and Management. Your commitment to strengthening Africa’s trade capacity is empowering a new generation of trade professionals and leaders across the continent.
