Trade
Anne Batchelder is now leading the group through the basics of trade.
She told us that international trade has the potential to reduce poverty, but the rules that are currently in place are preventing poor people from benefiting from trade.
Most people living in extreme poverty live in rural areas and rely on agriculture.
If Africa were to increase its share of world exports by 1%, the resulting $90 Billion generated would be three times what the continent receives in aid and debt relief.
ONE supports trade policy that will deliver real benefits.
Raising incomes in poor countries means:
- improving access to markets
- reduction or elimination of rich country subsidies
- right to direct trade and development strategies
You can read through Anne’s full slide show here.
