TradeSift Training in Nepal
|

|
A team from InterAnalysis delivered a TradeSift training
course in Kathmandu, Nepal, from January 21st to January 25th 2013. Peter Holmes, Jim Rollo, Sarah Ollerenshaw and Matteo
Sandi worked with a group of Indian and Pakistani trade officials to use
Tradesift to explore opportunities for expanded trade particularly in value
chain activity between the two neighbours. Despite the very real tensions on
their joint border at that time the two groups worked together with enthusiasm
and warmth. Further meetings are anticipated, the next, hopefully, in
Islamabad. The workshop was facilitated by our local partner organisation
SAWTEE who also arranged the participation of officials from the Nepalese government and the regional
organisation SAARC.

As a new venture for us, we have just delivered a 2-day introductory training programme for the British Government on partial equilibrium modelling which really nicely ties in with our TradeSift work. The course was a great success, and we plan more like this. Please contact us if you would like some more information.

The TradeSift Team spent a week in Arusha, Tanzania with 30 East African participants working on the implications of the Tripartite Agreement for East Africa. The analyses covered the implications of increased trade with South Africa and Egypt for Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi. We are looking forward to working with the EAC countries on these issues over the next few months.

TradeSift at the TEMASEK Foundation Centre for Trade & Negotiations

|

|
|
|
We were invited again by the TEMASEK Foundation Centre for Trade and Negotiations to deliver a three day module on TradeSift as part of their excellent annual executive programme, for a range of economists and non-economists from the Asia-Pacific region. The course brings together a range of participants and it was a pleasure to discuss trade issues from such a diverse range of perspectives.
