They will be working, according to the appointment instructions, as key advisors on exports funding, infrastructure, data and product aggregation to improve work on exports.
PACEID, the President’s advisory team on exports and industrial development was commissioned in March 2022 to deal with poor market access, standards and compliance issues, the cost of logistics and financing of exports.
The team has surpassed its targets of USD6bn set four years ago and now aims at expanding its reach to raise 1000 new export entities in the agricultural and industrial sectors with a fresh target of USD100bn in exports by 2045.
