The World Customs Organisation (WCO) attended the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) secretariat’s sub-committees on customs and trade facilitation from 21 to 23 May in Botswana.
The WCO made a presentation on the Mercator Programme as well as its support to WCO members in Africa and in particular the SADC region. The WCO also highlighted its support to Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the tools that it had developed to support both RECs and their members in their regional integration agendas - particularly in areas of Customs and border procedures.
