Background |
|
The then Government of South
Sudan started work on trade mainstreaming during the Interim
Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) period [1].
The Government issued “Trade Policy Guidelines” in 2009 which stated
the importance of establishing necessary institutions to mainstream
trade into the development priorities, policies and plans and
acknowledged capacity constraints for trade policy formulation and
implementation. The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment (MCII)
of the Republic of South Sudan (RSS) has been mandated to achieve these
objectives in coordination with line ministries, the private sector and
the donor community. Following independence, the Ministry has committed
itself to undertake a full range of activities to prepare for and fully
operationalise this mandate, including policy, legal frameworks and
institutions, as well as signing of regional and international trade
protocols.
In order to respond to the
significant capacity constraints facing the RSS’ integration in the
world economy, the Government requested participation in the Enhanced
Integrated Framework (EIF). The EIF is a partnership involving Least
Developed Countries (LDCs), donors and international organizations with
the following key objectives: (i) to assist LDCs in mainstreaming trade
into their national development plans and poverty reduction strategies;
and (ii) to assist in the coordinated delivery of trade-related
technical assistance to meet the trade capacity gaps identified by LDCs.
For more information on the IF please see: www.integratedframework.org.
The
first stage of the EIF process is the preparation of a Diagnostic Trade
Integration Study (DTIS) to provide the analytical basis for setting
priorities. The purpose of the DTIS is to identify key constraints to
the country’s integration into the multilateral trading system and the
global economy. The interim EIF Board has adopted a template to guide
the preparation of DTISs.
It is recognized
however, that the DTIS is country-specific. The guidelines cover a broad
range of topics reflecting the multi-faceted nature of trade issues.
These topics include: macroeconomic environment; trade policy and
institutions; trade agreements and market access; trade poverty
reduction and sustainable development; business environment and
institutional framework for trade and investment; trade facilitation;
standards and quality infrastructure; sectoral issues and implementation
arrangements. A set of policy recommendations and priority technical
assistance needs are summarized in an Action Matrix which together with
the DTIS is assessed and validated by stakeholders in a National
Validation Workshop. An executive summary will highlight the key
messages and findings of the DTIS.
An EIF
familiarization workshop, with the participation of the IF Executive
Secretariat and various UN agencies, was held on 13-14 November 2012 as a
first step to sensitize partners about the objectives of the programme
and its procedures and promote the active involvement of national
stakeholders in the DTIS process. | |
