Flows of Goods and Services
This section analyzes the legal, institutional, and operational constraints that impede trade expansion and recommends practical steps to minimize those constraints. First, the analysis focuses on Ethiopia’s legal framework for the ECuA. Second, this section considers the institutional issues regarding ECuA management, organizational capacity, and operations. Third, this section reviews other key public institutions involved in trade facilitation, including the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, the MoTI, the Ministry of Health, Quality and Standards Authority of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Intellectual Property Office, and the Ministry of Agriculture, along with their respective roles in trade facilitation. Fourth, key supply-chain partnership groups (i.e., private –sector–based system of supporting institutions) are reviewed, including such groups as importers, exporters, customs brokers, trade associations, and others. Finally, this section sets forth recommendations to improve the state of trade facilitation in Ethiopia.
