4. Murky trade waters: regional tariff commitments and non-tariff measures in Africa

   

   Stender, Frederik / Tim Vogel (2021)
   Discussion Paper, 13/2021

   Regional tariff commitments have successfully reduced intra-African applied tariffs but they also sharply reduced the tariff policy space within Africa. Has this come at the expense of the prevalence of non-tariff measures? What are the implications for the AfCFTA?

8. What have we learned about learning? Unpacking the relationship between knowledge and organisational change in development agencies

   

   Yanguas, Pablo (2021)
   Discussion Paper, 9/2021

   Development practitioners learn, their organisations not so much. In this paper, Pablo Yanguas finds little evidence for the “learning hypothesis” that knowledge makes development agencies more effective. As we near 2030, the role of M&E, research, and adaptive approaches may need to be reassessed.

9. Navigating through an external agenda and internal preferences: Ghana’s national migration policy

   

   Segadlo, Nadine (2021)

   This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of Ghana’s National Migration Policy (NMP). A major finding is that the NMP does not primarily respond to a perceived problem related to migration in Ghana but it rather pursues the migration related interests of the European Union (EU).
