Capacity Building Workshop on Navigating Cross-Border Trade Regulations & Market Dynamics for Agroecological Produce
2025-10-20 08:00 - 2025-10-24 17:00
Smallholder producers, women and youth entrepreneurs, informal traders, border agents, and policymakers all play a vital role in shaping Africa’s regional trade future. Yet, challenges such as Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs), SPS/TBT measures, and complex Rules of Origin often limit their participation.
trapca, in collaboration with the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), is delivering this training to turn challenges into opportunities—equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to thrive under the EAC and AfCFTA frameworks.
The workshop will feature:

Training on agroecology principles & their alignment with regional trade goals
Practical modules on STR, NTBs, SPS/TBT measures & Rules of Origin
Orientation on navigating the EAC trade environment & use of the EAC Agroecological Produce Trade Knowledge Hub (EAC-ATKH)
Field-based learning: peer exchange, mock border simulations & a visit to a key cross-border hub

Venue: ESAMI, Arusha, Tanzania
Dates: 20–24 October 2025
Limited scholarships available!
