The British government has launched a £8.9-million programme to help businesses in the Southern African Customs Union, plus Mozambique (SACU+M), to enter and grow their export markets. Known as Trade Forward Southern Africa (TFSA), the initiative is part of the UK Prosperity Fund Global Trade Programme, and is especially intended to support women-owned and women-dominated businesses. “This programme aims to help business better understand the new terms of trade under the new UK-[SACU+M] Economic Partnership Agreement,” explained British High Commissioner to South Africa Nigel Casey. “In particular it ensures the private sector and customs and trade facilitation officials have the information and tools they need to manage export and import clearance procedures effectively.”
