For African countries, the NTBs are very high for some countries, such as Tanzania, Senegal, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire, but very low or nonexistent for many others, such as Chad, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Madagascar. NTBs, especially technical standards, can pose triple challenges to LDCs, most of which are in Africa. First, LDCs lack the capacity to regulate based on technical standards, which means that their markets are less protected by NTBs than countries with such capacity. Second, LDCs have less capacity to comply with NTBs imposed by other countries. This means that the actual barriers imposed by NTBs are effectively more binding for LDCs, where the capacity is weaker than for other countries where the capacity is high. Third, a disproportionately large part of LDCs’ exports face NTBs due to their concentration on agricultural exports, where the majority of the NTBs lie. For African LDCs, the cost of NTBs can be extremely high relative to the small size of their economies. 03-Chap3:03-Chap3 10/10/06 10:08 AM Page 146 CHALLENGES “ AT THE BORDER ” 147 China Kenya Mauritius Nigeria Senegal South Africa Tanzania Uganda Africa average 17.2 18.2 14.6 11.1 71.1 43.7 14.4 25.0 64.8 5.3 5.8 41.3 25.0 25.0 33.0 8.5 2.6 9.3 10.0 1.8 6.7 12.3 3.4 3.7 2.7 6.3 6.8 0.3 2.7 0.2 0.5 18.6 0.0 10.4 16.6 9.4 25.0 19.9 17.7 2.7 6.5 10.5 9.2 2.7 2.6 6.8 6.6 18.0 4.5 17.9 18.9 13.7 15.2 18.3 16.0 7.4 8.7 11.0 13.6 3.5 6.3 14.5 7.6 11.5 10.3 17.5 19.3 24.8 20.3 22.9 22.8 India Kenya Mauritius Nigeria Senegal South Africa Tanzania Uganda Africa average 2.7 49.7 12.3 1.9 11.3 16.0 20.8 25.0 54.2 12.0 5.9 22.0 25.7 25.0 35.3 3.8 0.3 5.4 5.0 4.1 24.2 40.0 5.3 5.9 7.3 6.2 5.0 4.8 0.1 8.5 5.0 0.7 3.1 11.7 5.0 8.4 1.1 18.1 7.3 6.1 2.6 14.6 3.3 2.1 5.3 8.4 6.8 13.6 2.6 16.8 11.9 9.4 17.2 15.5 12.2 5.0 4.8 5.9 7.3 9.7 4.7 5.0 7.2 17.1 6.4 12.3 17.8 20.8 11.9 16.6 16.4 Download 5.17 Mb.
