Introduction
This paper discusses “Growth and opportunity” issues with a special emphasis on views and positions noted by development activists in civil society organisations and social movements in Africa.
It highlights why the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) is an important point of departure for those working in the field of trade justice; explores a few challenges for Africa in the context of WTO, and finally dwells at length on examples drawn from the current phase of EU-ACP trade negotiations in the context of the Cotonou Agreement.
It notes the importance of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and does not attempt to isolate challenges Africa faces in the context of Agoa or how in Southern Africa, for example, the Southern African Customs Union distorts trade options for those ensnared in South Africa’s Technical Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) with the European Union.
