The Government of Benin has requested an
update of the 2005 Diagnostic Trade Integration Study and
has asked the World Bank to take the leading role in this
exercise. The update’s objectives are to (a) take stock of
progress in the mainstreaming of trade in the government’s
national development strategy and of implementation of the
Action Matrix recommendations; (b) complement and deepen the
analysis in selected areas; and (c) revise and update the
Action Matrix to take account of the evolving context since
2006. The aim of the analysis is to assist the Government of
Benin in defining an overall competitiveness strategy for
inclusive, job-creating export-led growth in accordance with
the key priorities identified in the 2013 Plan Stratégique
de Développement du Commerce (PSDC), and to further
mainstream trade into the general policy orientation defined
by Benin’s key policy documents, including the Growth and
Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (GPRSP) update. The DTIS
Update (DTISU) offers a diagnosis, analytical framework and
action plan, giving trade expansion a key role in the
reduction of poverty and vulnerability. As mandated by the
Paris Principles, the DTISU’s approach is strongly aligned
with the MICPME’s PSDC (Trade Development Strategy Plan,
henceforth TDSP) and draws also from the diagnosis in the
Government of Benin’s recent poverty assessment (INSAE 2014)
as well as the 2011 update of the GPRSP. It emphasizes the
linkages between poverty, jobs, and trade with two key
objectives: (i) reducing poverty through trade-led growth,
and (ii) reducing vulnerability.
