NTM survey overview
Following an official request by the Ministry of Trade from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, ITC has started the preparations for the implementation of a NTM business survey in the country. The survey will have a wide regional and sector coverage and is expected to provide an up-to-date representation of export activities from Ethiopia.
The purpose of the survey is to increase the awareness of public and private sectors on regulations perceived as burdensome by exporting companies in the country. Through this survey, ITC seeks to improve the understanding of the dynamic of the exporting sectors as well as to put up together with all stakeholders recommendations that could be implemented in order to facilitate the exporting operations and therefore have a substantial impact on export success and duration.
ITC already contacted local survey companies and currently, the selection of the most suitable partner to carry out the survey is still ongoing. We expect that the survey launch as well as a first stakeholders’ meeting informing all local partners of our survey will take place between end-August and mid-September.
