ORF Kigali Global Dialogue 2022 || The Promise of Integration: Global Value Chains and the Ladder to Prosperity ||

Developing countries are struggling to break into global value chains (GVCs) amid an epidemic of “reshoring”, automation, and a populist backlash against globalisation. Yet, the post-pandemic search for resilient and secure supply chains has created another opportunity for them.
What are the perils and promises of regional integration, and how can better-integrated countries and continents compete in the global supply-chain marketplace?
What is the hard and soft infrastructure needed to take advantage of this moment of promise for developing countries – and how can it be financed?
Is integration into GVCs the best chance to climb the ladder to prosperity?

Moderator:
Andrew Boamah Asare, Infrastructure Specialist, Embassy of Switzerland, Ghana

Miriam W. Oiro Omolo, Executive Director, The African Policy Research Institute (APRI), Kenya
