The Cotonou Agreement and its Implications for the Regional Trade Agenda in Eastern and Southern AfricaCotonou Agreement • June 20th, 2003
Sub Regional Trade Arrangements (RTA) in Eastern and Southern Africa have proliferated in the past 10 to 15 years. The small size of most of the countries in the region, some of which are landlocked, and the security needs in the post independence period largely explain the rapid expansion. These arrangements are characterized by their multiple and overlapping membership, complex structures, and eventually conflicting and confusing commitments.
