Description
The UK’s decision to exit the European Union has put a spotlight on our trade and investment relationships. For developing nations in Africa, trade can be an important means to reduce poverty and achieve development goals – and the UK is a crucial partner in this process.
What does Brexit mean for Africa? How can the UK ensure that African nations benefit and do not lose out from the changes underway? What more can we do to help our developing nation partners achieve inclusive growth and prosperity?
This event is co-hosted by ODI and Trade Out of Poverty.
