🌍 Global trade didn’t happen overnight it’s built on decades of cooperation shaped by history and shared ambition. 📜 From the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (1947) to the World Trade Organization (1995), the system evolved to address a changing global economyexpanding beyond tariffs to services, intellectual property, and dispute resolution. ⚖️ Why it matters: this evolution shapes today’s multilateral trading system and defines the policy space for developing regions, especially across Africa. As we head toward the WTO Ministerial Conference, understanding these foundations is more important than ever. 📌 Follow our #UnderstandingWTO series as we unpack what this means for Africa’s trade future. #SEATINIat30 #WTO #MC14 @herbertk4 @SeatiniU @mtic_uganda @GovUganda @South_Centre @AFRODAD2011 @actionaiduganda @OxfaminUganda @TradeJusticeNet @OWINFS @3rdworldnetwork @CameroonGov @wto @endacacid @twnafrica01 @EAC_Trade @TradeMarkAfrica @Vahini @SMannette1
