Regional Development, Trade and Investment Promotion (RDTIP)

Several studies at both national and regional level have been conducted, and empirical evidence show that trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and private-public sector investment are key for economic growth and development. Africa in general and SADC countries in particular, owing to inadequate resources to finance long-term development, have been looking at trade, FDI and other regional initiatives to boost growth, and possibly reduce poverty in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

As a company, and as professionals domiciled in Africa, we are concerned about growth and poverty reduction. In this regard, we offer the following services to regional bodies (like SADC and others), governments, trade and promotion agencies, research institutions (think tanks), private corporates and development agencies:

  • Feasibility studies and market intelligence
  • Trade facilitation
  • Economic research and trade policy impact studies
  • Valuation & due diligence exercises
  • Survey planning, design and operations
  • Data capturing and analysis (quantitative & qualitative analysis)
  • Report writing

The main tools we use are:

  • Eviews, Strata, SAS, SPSS (socio-economic modeling and analysis)
  • Input-output models (for industry wide impact modeling)
  • Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) (economy wide socio-economic modeling)
  • Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) (regional and economy wide modelling and impact analysis)
  • Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) (International Trade Modelling)
  • Microsoft Excel (spreadsheet with Visual Basic for Applications application).
