Africa: Focus On Private Sector - Tech to Lower Trade Barriers. Last week, the World Trade Organization (WTO) met in Kenya for its regular ministerial conference.
The meeting produced several breakthroughs, including a plan to phase out agricultural export subsidies and to eliminate tariffs on many IT products. But members agreed to disagree on the Doha Round, the overarching, multilateral negotiation aimed at lowering trade barriers that the WTO has been trying to complete since 2001.
