    2nd WCO ESA Regional Research Conference Nairobi, Kenya 23rd and 24th November 2017: Impacts and Implication of Trade Facilitation Agreement and the WCO Mercator Programme to the ESA region
    (WCO ESA, 2017-11-23) World Customs Organization East & Southern Africa Regional Office for Capacity Building
    The Governing Council of the World Customs Organization, East and Southern Africa region, established the regional research programme aiming to build institutional capacity and the body of knowledge in customs through research. The objective of the programme is to encourage research on topical themes for customs in East and Southern Africa. The programme also aims to develop a body of knowledge to guide the decision-making process concerning trade facilitation and regional economic integration in the Region. It is also hoped that the research programme and the results from findings from the research initiatives will assist countries in sharing experiences, ideas, knowledge, and information on new innovations to improve Customs operations while creating new inventions to continue modernizing customs to ease facilitation of trade in East and Southern Africa. The envisaged output from this process will always be the publication of an e-book consisting of a consolidation of papers presented during the conference. A Regional Research Panel was established by the ROCB for the overall coordination of the conference. The Panel comprises representatives from the ROCB, WCO Research Unit, RTCs, Experts (including from academia), and other stakeholders.
