Background to the Trade Mission:
Ignite Trade Africa collaborated with the Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) in Nigeria to organize an Inbound Mission from Nigeria to Kenya which took place on 1st to 7th September 2019.
This trade mission was organised with the understanding that to enhance the existing bilateral cooperation and promote trade between the Republic of Kenya and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, there need to be initiatives undertaken by stakeholders in both countries to improve trade & investment. At Ignite Trade Africa, we believe that there is a need for an objective and development – oriented approach to specifically drive trade amongst the MSME segment.
