Sector Advisory committee
The development of trade-oriented industrialization Policies and Strategies is a vital aspect of the process of export promotion. Trade sector stability can only be achieved depending on the manufacturing sector’s capacity to supply goods demanded by the foreign market. As such, in order to ensure competition in the manufacturing sector, it is a great necessity to build coordination and collaboration among industry sectors with the objective to overcome challenges and gaps prevailing in the existing regulatory mechanism that negatively influences industry development.
