In expanding trade, the link between standards, access to foreign
markets, and development is at the forefront of policy debate. This
is particularly true for African countries, which face critical
challenges in improving domestic capacity to meet production and
quality standards required in foreign markets. In case studies of
five African countries Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa,
and Uganda Standards and Global Trade demonstrates the importance
of addressing the impact of product standards both as barriers to
trade and as opportunities to expand market access. This book
provides a comprehensive and in-depth case-by-case assessment of
the current and anticipated use of international standards and
capacity for compliance. Each chapter details the economic context
in which standards apply to each country and examines the
mechanisms with which the country and its representatives have
participated in the process of setting/revising standards and
technical regulations at the local and international level. The
analysis includes a review of existing laws and regulations and the
extent to which they are consistent with current international
norms. Standards and Global Trade examines each country's physical
infrastructure and organizational capacities to design and
implement standards and technical regulations. The authors also
discuss and analyze the implementation processes and some estimated
impact of various standards, technical regulations, and related
production/marketing practices in about five specific industry
segments in each country."
