Informal cross-border trade (or ICBT) makes up a huge chunk of intra-African economic output, although it is hardly captured in official accounts statistics, and even much less in formal trade policy and agreements.
Join trade facilitation experts Lily Sommer and Pierre Bonthonneau as they explore the ICBT phenomenon with African trade policy experts Professor David Luke from the London School of Economics and Mr. Tasara Muzorori from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Secretariat, and top it off with real-life accounts from traders on the ground.
Informal Exchanges brings you stories of movement, resilience, and innovation at the African borders, all wrapped in an informal exchange.
