The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the Sub-regional Office for Southern Africa, (ECA-SRO-SA) organized a virtual Regional Industrialization Forum on 27 to 28 May 2021 to review the findings and recommendations and validate the studies. Following the review and finalization of the studies, policy briefs have now been drafted synthesizing the recommendations and providing direction for stakeholders going forward.

The Commission in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Republic of Malawi is organising a Regional Policy Dialogue on 9th to 11th December 2022 in Lilongwe to review and synthesize the policy directions from the analytical studies and policy dialogues in readiness for the transmission to stakeholders for implementation as well as sensitize the private sector on new policy directions on industrialization.

 

Objectives of the Policy Dialogue

The overall objective of the policy dialogue and the private sector sensitization meeting is to provide regional stakeholders with a platform to discuss the recommendations and policy directions from the four analytical studies undertaken to anchor regional support on industrial policy domestication and harmonization in Southern Africa.

Specifically, the regional policy dialogue will review the policy briefs on domestication, harmonization, the impacts of COVID-19 and on SEZs interrogating the recommendations of each study to sharpen them for pointed guidance to regional member States and stakeholders in;

(i)  the alignment and harmonization of national policies with the regional frameworks;

(ii)  addressing the impacts of COVID-19 and strategizing for building    back faster and;

(iii) harnessing special economic zones for inclusive industrialization and economic transformation. Informed by these four studies, the Policy Dialogue will review the proffered recommendations and policy directions to lay the platform for dissemination to and implementation by member States RECS and other stakeholders.
