Reference Paper for Annex I

Scope

The following are definitions and principles on the regulatory framework for the basic telecommunications services.

Definitions

Users mean service consumers and service suppliers.

Essential facilities mean facilities of a public telecommunications transport network or service that

(a) Are exclusively or predominantly provided by a single or limited number of suppliers; and

(b) Cannot feasibly be economically or technically substituted in order to provide a service.

A major supplier is a supplier which has the ability to materially affect the terms of participation (having regard to price and supply) in the relevant market for basic telecommunications services as a result of:

(a) Control over essential facilities; or

(b) Use of its position in the market.

1. Competitive Safeguards

1.1 Prevention of anti-competitive practices in telecommunications

Appropriate measures shall be maintained for the purpose of preventing suppliers who, alone or together, are a major supplier from engaging in or continuing anti-competitive practices.

1.2 Safeguards

The anti-competitive practices referred to above shall include in particular:

(a) Engaging in anti-competitive cross-subsidization;

(b) Using information obtained from competitors with anti-competitive results; and

(c) Not making available to other services suppliers on a timely basis technical information about essential facilities and commercially relevant information which are necessary for them to provide services.

2. Interconnection

2.1 This section applies to linking with suppliers providing public telecommunications transport networks or services in order to allow the users of one supplier to communicate with users of another supplier and to access services provided by another supplier, where specific commitments are undertaken.

2.2 Interconnection to be ensured

Interconnection with a major supplier will be ensured at any technically feasible point in the network. Such interconnection is provided.

(a) Under non-discriminatory terms, conditions (including technical standards and specifications) and rates and of a quality no less favourable than that provided for its own like services or for like services of non-affiliated service suppliers or for its subsidiaries or other affiliates;

178

Volume 19 No.2O

FFIC

IAL

GA

ZET

TE

(b) In a timely fashion, on terms, conditions (including technical standards and specifications) and cost-oriented rates that are transparent, reasonable, having regard to economic feasibility, and sufficiently unbundled so that the supplier need not pay for network components or facilities that it does not require for the service to be provided; and

(c) Upon request, at points in addition to the network termination points offered to the majority of users, subject to charges that reflect the cost of construction of necessary additional facilities.

2.3 Public availability of the procedures for interconnection negotiations

The procedures applicable for interconnection to a major supplier will be made publicly available.

2.4 Transparency of interconnection arrangements

It is ensured that a major supplier will make publicly available either its interconnection agreements or a reference interconnection offer.

2.5 Interconnection: dispute settlement

A service supplier requesting interconnection with a major supplier will have recourse, either:

(a) At any time or

(b) After a reasonable period of time which has been made publicly known

to an independent domestic body, which may be a regulatory body as referred to in paragraph 5 below, to resolve disputes regarding appropriate terms, conditions and rates for interconnection within a reasonable period of time, to the extent that these have not been established previously.

3. Universal Service

Any Member has the right to define the kind of universal service obligation it wishes to maintain. Such obligations will not be regarded as anti-competitive per se, provided they are administered in a transparent, non-discriminatory and competitively neutral manner and are not more burdensome than necessary for the kind of universal service defined by the Member.

4. Public Availability Of Licensing Criteria

Where a licence is required, the following will be made publicly available:

(a) All the licensing criteria and the period of time normally required to reach a decision concerning an application for a licence and

(b) The terms and conditions of individual licences.

The reasons for the denial of a licence will be made known to the applicant upon request.

5. Independent Regulators

The regulatory body is separate from, and not accountable to, any supplier of basic telecommunications services. The decisions of and the procedures used by regulators shall be impartial with respect to all market participants.

6. Allocation and Use of Scarce Resources

Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers and rights of

179

way, will be carried out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands will be made publicly available, but detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.

ANNEX III

REGULATIONS ON THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SMALL SCALE CROSS-BORDER TRADERS IN THE COMESA REGION

Introduction

For contiguous COMESA Member States there is a lot of trade that is conducted by small scale cross-border traders. By some estimates, this trade accounts for 35% of total trade. This trade, although looked at with scorn from some quarters, is very important trade because essential products are usually involved and the proceeds from this trade serve as incomes to some families. In general women and the youth are the major participants in this kind of trade.

Complying with border formalities is usually a nightmare for the small scale traders rendering them vulnerable to abuse or violation of their rights. This situation comes about either because the traders are not aware of their rights or because someone intentionally takes advantage and abuses them. This situation calls for the region to come up with some regulations on the minimum standards for the treatment of small scale traders.

Informal Trade and Small Scale Trade

It is however important to distinguish between informal trade and small scale trade. Informal trade is usually taken to refer to a form of cross border trade which is unrecorded in official statistics and is carried out by registered or unregistered enterprises within the COMESA region through avoidance of border stations, concealing of goods, under declaration, misclassification and under invoicing among other means. This form of activity prevails through evasion taxes or fees imposed by governments and sometimes in an attempt to avoid formalities (health, agriculture, security, immigration etc.) which are assumed complex and time consuming.

On the other hand, small scale cross border trade is categorized as legitimate cross border trade carried out by commercial players albeit in small quantities. In COMESA, this segment of traders is catered for under the Simplified Trade Regime (STR). Under this system, traders carrying consignments of goods that are on a common list between the two contiguous countries valued at or below US $1,000 are accorded special facilitation measures which seek to expedite clearance and reduce cost of crossing the border, in addition to the preferential tariff treatment. This is expected to contribute to improved profits by small scale traders contributing to poverty reduction and economic development of the region.

The Basic Rights and Obligations for Traders and Officials at the Border

1. All individuals shall be able to cross the border without verbal or physical abuse or harassment, including but not limited to sexual and gender-based violence.

2. The documents for traders shall be processed at the border in an efficient and timely manner without discrimination. A receipt must be provided to the trader for any payment made and the payment properly recorded.

3. Only officials of the approved agencies should be present at the border and all border officials should wear uniforms or ID badges that allow the identification of their respective agency.

4. Physical checks of traders must be recorded with the reason and outcome provided. Female traders have the right to receive a physical check by female officials in a private but regulated and accountable environment.

ANNEX V

COMESA ROADMAP FOR DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS

A. Background

The African continent remains behind in achieving sustainable industrial development. It lags behind other continents in industrial growth and employment creation. For the past decade and a half Africa’s share of industrial output has remained stagnant, at 1 percent.

The United Nations highlighted the role that industrial development can and must play in achieving the Millennium Development Goals and promoting socio-economic advancement in Africa.

The African Union has recognized the importance of sustainable industrial development in Africa. It has endorsed the African Productive Capacity Initiative, which was jointly launched by the continent’s ministers of industry and the UN Industrial Development Organization, as the sustainable industrialization component of the New Partnership for Africa’s development.

A cursory look at the UNIDO indicators on industrial development highlights yet another challenge in this sector. The lack of up to date industrial statistics in most of our Member States comes out clearly in this respect. Linked to this may be the fact that many countries have not conducted industrial censuses or indeed register updates in a long time.

The state and accuracy of African economic statistics numbers, particularly the national accounts has been called into question in the recent past. Recent GDP rebasing exercises are a testament to the necessary revisions that reflect the unsatisfactory state of some of these economic statistics. However funding interventions in national accounts statistics without first ensuring that the requisite basic statistics are available, will not achieve their intended purpose.

Resources used for basic statistics, such as agricultural, industrial and services statistics in addition to prices and international trade statistics, in contrast, will not only facilitate policy making and planning focusing on the subjects that define the scope of the statistics. The deployment of the resources for those purposes will also enable national accounts to have a solid foundation and much easier to construct as most of it will be produced almost as a by-product of the basic statistics.

There is thus a need to develop strategies for the production of quality basic statistics and a resolve to implement them.

The 2013 Fifth COMESA Committee on Statistical Matters approved a program for development of industrial statistics in the COMESA region. In order to ensure country inclusiveness, COMESA has conducted a detailed assessment of the state of industrial statistics in the region for designing an intervention strategy which will be further considered by the sixth CCSM.

An industrial statistics roadmap can be adapted to cover the services sector.

B. The Strategy Document

The strategy is designed to move the COMESA region to the realisation of a vision where “every member state produces industrial statistics compliant with international standards.”

The strategy document contains the background already presented above, a stakeholder analysis, a discussion and presentation of the strategic goals, an implementation plan and a monitoring and evaluation plan, in that order.

C. Stakeholder Analysis

The stakeholder analysis is for the present confined to an analysis of member states in their capacity as producers of industrial statistics. It does not, for example, include users of the statistics. The analysis is based on the results of the 2014 survey of industrial statistics in member states. The survey instrument was designed along the lines of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) generic Data Quality Assessment Framework (DQAF), prerequisites and dimensions of statistical quality.

An analysis of the responses to the survey enables the classification of any responding member state as either a producer of industrial statistics who complies with international standards, especially the International Recommendations on Industrial Statistics (IRIS) 2008, (A): a producer who does not comply with the standards, (B); or a non – producer of industrial statistics, (C). It should be noted that a country which on average is classifiable in category A, may for a specific indicator be classifiable under B and vice versa. Thus, for example, a country that compiles industrial statistics compliant with IRIS 2008 in most respects may fail on the metadata or timeliness indicator. Hence if there is a strategic goal such as “To ensure that every member state compiles industrial statistics compliant with IRIS 2008” and one of the activities to achieve the strategic goal is “To assist member states to produce metadata and post it on their websites.”, then the country, which would have been classified in category A, on average, would have to be classified in category B for that activity.

The table below and the comments below it are extracted from the industrial survey report. The cells of the table record the number of quality indicators that each country was found to possess, under each quality dimension. The “Total” row records the total number of quality indicators that each country was found to have in all dimensions. The row headed “Possible” indicates the total number of indicators that each country would have if it were compliant in every respect. The “% Score” row expresses the total number of quality indicators actually possessed by the country as a percentage the maximum possible total for full compliance

Using an arbitrary rule of thumb that 80% overall compliance is compliance then Egypt, Mauritius, Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe could be classified in category A among the responding countries.

Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Swaziland and Madagascar are in category B. The Comoros and the Seychelles are in category C among the responding member states shown in the table below.

On average, responding COMESA countries indicated the existence of dimensions in their industrial statistics

197

systems to a level of 67% of what is required for them to meet all the quality requirements of industrial statistics. The dimensions of quality that are least developed, and therefore require the most urgent attention are Serviceability and Prerequisites both at 60% of requirements, followed by Accuracy and Reliability at 65%, Methodology at 70% and Accessibility at 72%. Integrity is the best quality dimension among responding COMESA member states at 79%.

The prerequisites dimension with a least score of 60%, includes legal and institutional arrangements, resources, relevance and the existence of quality management systems. The legal and institutional arrangements are reasonably developed at 88%, but the lack of resources (35%) and lack of quality management (33%) systems need the greatest attention (Table 0- Overall Prerequisites).

Serviceability also scoring 60% includes periodicity and timeliness, consistency and revision policy and practice. The poor development of periodicity and timeliness is probably linked to the lack of resources as data may only be produced when resources become available. There is need to pay attention to this dimension as users need a regular supply of the data.

There is considerable variation among the member states as far as the overall quality of industrial statistics is concerned. Thus Egypt (91%), Mauritius (86%), Malawi (84%), Uganda (82%), Zambia and Zimbabwe with 80% each, have comparatively good quality industrial statistical systems. On the other hand, Comoros and Seychelles, Rwanda with (0%) and Madagascar (25%) need more urgent attention.

D. The Strategic Goals

Strategic goals can be formulated along strategic themes identified by stakeholders. In this case since the partial stakeholder analysis that has been done is based on a survey whose instrument was designed according to the lines of the IMF generic DQAF, it is convenient to have strategic goals that address issues revealed in the survey along the lines of the prerequisites and the quality dimensions of the DQAF. The strategic goals are thus as follows:

1. To ensure that every member state has an institution with the primary responsibility for the production of industry statistics and that the unit is adequately resourced and empowered to collect, process and disseminate the statistics.

2. To ensure that every member state has an industrial statistics sector strategy including a commitment to the principles of integrity.

3. To ensure that every country is compliant with IRIS 2008 in its production of industry statistics

4. To ensure that measures to achieve accuracy and reliability are embedded in the work of the institution producing industry statistics

5. To ensure that the statistics meet international standards with respect to periodicity, timeliness and consistency.

6. To ensure that in every member state the institution producing industry statistics has a data dissemination policy that meets international standards

Activities/actions to meet the goals

E. Implementation Plan

The responsibility for the implementation of the strategy is vested in the COMESA Committee on Statistical Matters (CCSM). Through the Committee, National Statistical Offices (NSO) are expected to use their internal structures for within office implementation. These structures are expected to involve the units or departments that compile industry statistics whose heads would also be the contact persons for the COMESA Secretariat.

The aspects of implementation that require regional workshops would be the responsibility of the COMESA Secretariat. The heads of units (or their assistants) at each NSO would be the country representative at the COMESA industrial statistics experts working group meetings. This working group’s deliberations and reports are summarized and presented to the CCSM for recommendations to Council.

The strategy can be seen as meant to close the gap between the status as revealed in the survey and the ideal that is stated in the vision. In other words the region has to move from having as many affirmative answers regarding the existence of requisite quality indicators to one where all the answers are affirmative. The implementation strategy has to recognise that there could be resource constraints to simultaneous implementation of all the strategic actions to achieve the desired strategic goals. There is thus need for prioritisation.

The prioritisation has to take into account the following.

(i) The criticality of the action is as a precondition for the implementation of other actions in the strategy.

(ii) The number and importance of the indicators and quality dimensions that the strategic action addresses at the same time.

(iii) The ease of implementation of the strategic action.

Taking these criteria into account, the order of priority could be as set out below. Some of the actions may not be applicable in certain countries. Such countries need to start at the first applicable strategic action.

(i) Establish an industry statistics unit. Empower the unit or NSO to collect, process and disseminate statistics and oblige suppliers of the data to supply it, through a legal instrument.

(ii) Provide physical, human, IT and financial resources for the unit.

(iii) Develop an Industry Statistics Sector Strategy (ISSS).

201

(iv) Design a generic industry statistics questionnaire based on the IRIS 2008 for the whole COMESA region. Adopt (and adapt, where necessary) the questionnaire in each country. This should be for the annual census or survey.

(v) Design a questionnaire for the collection of data to produce the quarterly Index of Industrial Production (IIP).

(vi) Develop a data dissemination plan.

F. Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

Monitoring and evaluation will include:

(i) Annual reports that will be submitted by each member state NSO and consolidated by the COMESA Secretariat for presentation to the CCSM.

(ii) Within Member states, quarterly reports should be compiled and submitted to the COMESA Secretariat.

(iii) Regional workshops of industry statisticians dealing with the initiation of project review and implementation issues.

(iv) Country visits by COMESA Secretariat.

(v) Peer review and exchange arrangements based on promotion of country best practice.

G. Roll Out Plan

A workshop to initiate the project will be held in early 2015.

ANNEX VI

ROADMAP FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENT STATISTICS IN THE COMESA REGION

1. BACKGROUND

1.1 Mandate

Monitoring and measurement of progress towards environmental sustainability is weak due to the insufficient production of environment statistics and environmental indicators.The United Nations Statistical Commission endorsed the revised Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (FDES 2013) in 2013 as the framework for strengthening environment statistics programmes in countries. The implementation of the FDES will help countries address the increasing demand for integrated information in support of integrated policies in the follow-up to Rio+20 and the post-2015 development agenda through the strengthening of environment statistics.

The Sixth Meeting of the COMESA Committee on Statistical Matters recommended the inclusion of the development of environment statistics in the work program related to the 2014-2017 COMESA Statistics Strategy. As the technical committee charged with the formulation of statistical policy and programs, its recommendations represent country demand for a regional program to include among others environment statistics.

The COMESA programme on environmental statistics aims at addressing the technical and institutional barriers to the establishment of routinely produced environment statistics at the country level. The program will provide both statistical and institutional capacity building, based on the FDES and will build on existing technical cooperation work carried out by United Nations and African Development Bank in COMESA countries.

The programme aims to benefit both primary and secondary beneficiaries in the participating countries. The primary beneficiaries of the project at the national level will be practitioners working in national statistical offices and environmental ministries, as well as other environmentally relevant line ministries and authorities (e.g., environment, natural resources, agriculture, energy, national planning, transport, finance, economic development), who are engaged in the production and use of selected environmental statistics according to their responsibilities and needs. Other beneficiaries at the national level include other producers and users of these statistics including practitioners working in policy making, non-governmental organizations, research institutes and universities, the private sector, the public at large, as well as international, regional and sub-regional organizations.

The programme will focus on strengthening the regular and sustained production of environment statistics at the national level. This will be done by organizing two capacity building sub-regional workshops, capacity building national workshops and technically supporting the COMESA countries which are at different stages in the development of environment statistics.

1.2 Link to International Development Goals

The United Nations and other international agencies have identified indicators for the monitoring of the implementation of the development goals and targets set out in the Millennium Declaration. The development of environmental statistics is in line with the objective of supporting Member states accelerate progress towards achieving the Internationally Agreed Development Goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (in particular Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability).

Further, throughout the process of negotiations prior to and during the Rio +20 Conference, the need to strengthen the monitoring of sustainable development, through improved data collection, the production of statistics and the establishment of indicators, has been stressed. Of the three pillars of sustainable development, monitoring

203

the advancement towards environmental sustainability is the weakest. Therefore, due to the importance of assessing progress in environmental sustainability and ultimately in sustainable development, the availability and quality of statistics, in particular of environment statistics is of utmost importance. The Rio+20 outcome document, acknowledges the need to further mainstream sustainable development at all levels integrating economic, social and environmental aspects and recognizing their inter-linkages, so as to achieve sustainable development in all its dimensions.It stresses the need for the continuation of a regular review of the state of the Earth’s changing environment and its impact on human well-being and in this regard, it urges for bringing together environmental information and assessments and building national and regional capacity to support informed decision making. It calls for the establishment of Sustainable Development Goals for the post 2015 development agenda. As demand for indicators increases with the post-2015 development agenda, the need for sustained investment in the production of environment statistics becomes even more critical at all levels.

3. COMESA REGION CONTEXT

3.1 Problem Analysis

The programme will focus on the enhancement of capacity of stakeholders to produce environment statistics. Experience in this field, as well as consultations and discussions with countries and major stakeholders resulted in the identification of the following key factors as possible causes of the lack of capacity in many developing countries:

i. Insufficient awareness/knowledge of the statistical process and institutional requirements underlying the regular production of environment statistics

ii. Lack of technical capacity to collect, compile and disseminate environment statistics on a regular basis to allow for their effective use in supporting evidence-based policy-making and for monitoring internationally agreed goals.

iii. Insufficient quantity and quality of environment statistics produced on a regular basis.

iv. Weak institutional set up and insufficient inter-institutional collaboration at national level thereby hindering effective coordination, collaboration and data-sharing.

The key factors listed above lead to a low capacity of governments to collect, compile and disseminate environment statistics. The key factors are all inter-related and affect each other. This situation results in inadequate monitoring and measurement of progress towards environmental sustainability and sustainable development.

3.2 Objective of Programme

The programme objective is to strengthen national capacities of selected developing countries for the sustained, regular production of a priority set of environment statistics in order to measure progress towards sustainable development.

3.3 Expected Outcomes

The programme’s expected outcome is enhanced technical capacities of selected countries to regularly produce a comprehensive set of environment statistics, based on FDES, according to their own policy demands and commitments.

3.4 Indicators of Achievement at National Level

i. National work plans in environment statistics that outline the programmes and activities to develop environment statistics/indicators series

FFIC

IAL

GA

ZET

TE

ii. Increased production of priority environment statistics within the national statistical systems of participating countries, through the use of the FDES 2013 and its Basic Set of Environment Statistics

3.5 Stakeholder Analysis and Capacity Assessment

Given the multi-disciplinary and cross-cutting nature of environmental information, the production of environment statistics involves numerous stakeholders. Environment statistics cover several topics for which the data, whether in the form of administrative records, remote sensing, scientific measurements or survey results, are being generated by national statistical offices, specialized agencies, ministries, local governments and scientific institutions. Therefore, to produce high quality environment statistics, it is inherent to work together with the collaboration of these stakeholders, both at the strategic and technical level.

In most countries, collaboration among national and sub-national institutions has generally been formalized through a multi-stakeholder or inter-agency platform or committee tasked with coordinating the strategic development and production of environment statistics. These inter-agency platforms bring together users and producers to identify users’ needs and ensure the production of the necessary environment statistics from a variety of data sources in a coordinated manner. One of the tasks of the platform is to ensure that a common statistical methodology or protocol is being used to ensure comparability and statistical soundness. Another relevant function is to preserve continuity over time, despite significant turnover of staff in the different partner institutions.

3.6. The COMESA Assessment of Environment Statistics

The COMESA Treaty provides the policy context for sustainable development and cooperation in environmental matters. There is need to articulate developments and align them with COMESA priorities for the development of the environment as a whole and environment statistics specifically.

Other publications related to the FDES 2013 included “A Blueprint for Action”. In view of advancing the global statistical system, the UNSD also published a brochure on environment statistics. The FDES 2013 was designed in such a way as to be a flexible, multi-purpose tool that adapts to the needs and priorities of countries and different users; help to identify the range of statistics relevant to decision-making; facilitate a synthesized presentation of data; suitably simplify complex environmental issues; be coherent with other existing statistical frameworks and classifications; and thus promote sound concepts.

In order to initiate a regional intervention, COMESA undertook an assessment of available environment statistics (ES) in member states. The main results indicate that environment statistics is generally poor in many of member states (Figure 1). The average score for the region is 0.43 or 43% for the general availability. Around 10 out of

205

the 19 COMESA countries have a pronounced lack of environmental data. Based on this assessment, a roadmap, outlined below, has been prepared. The issues considered in the roadmap include categorization of countries according to level of environment statistics development, institutional and sector assessments and statistics development. All countries will use the same plan but the details will be adapted on the basis of actual status of ES development within the country.

From the assessment the following categorization are deduced:

i. Strong Environment Statistics (ES): Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Egypt;

ii. Medium ES: Seychelles, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Burundi, Zambia;

iii. Weak/poor ES: the rest.

These categorizations may change upon availability of detailed assessments done within countries, but will serve to establish the initial interventions in the countries.

3.7 Implementation Plan

Following the COMESA Assessment on Environmental Statistics, a roadmap for implementation of the FDES-2013 was finalized. The scope of the Assessment covered coordination of environment statistics, environment information systems and environmental accounts, thematic environment statistics availability (i.e. air/atmosphere, soil, coastal and marine resources, water, waste, forestry and wood, energy and biodiversity). The roadmap includes:

i. Building of partnerships with UNSD, other sub regional agencies and key agencies in development of environment statistics.

ii. Capacity building at regional and national level.

iii. Developing the institutional dimension of environment statistics through identification of all stakeholders in the data production process

iv. Under existing national statistical laws, promote advocacy for clarity on the definition of mandates and competencies of institutions responsible for each sector of environment statistics.

v. Enhancement of inter institutional collaboration

vi. Comprehensively addressing institutional challenges and constraints in finance, human resource, technical capacities and coordination.

vii. Sector Assessments for both existing and non-existing environment statistics in Member states.

Carrying out data validation; Developing metadata; Preparing publications; Preparing launch events; Disseminating environment statistics products; Obtaining feedback;

4. Consolidation Stage - Institutionalizing and strengthening of environment statistics units; Formalizing national inter-institutional collaboration platforms; Allocating budget and staff resources dedicated to environment statistics; Connecting with and participating in regional and global expert groups, networks and resources; Maintaining and further developing environment statistics’ coverage and timeliness; Ensuring statistical quality (Source: UNSD Blueprint for Action for the implementation of the FDES 2013).

In most countries, the national statistical offices, which normally oversee the national statistical system (NSS) and coordinate these platforms, must have adequate authority, resources and capacities to lead the multi-stakeholder processes. Depending on the institutional set up, in many developing countries the coordination of the national environmental information systems lies with the environmental ministry or equivalent institution. The programme takes into account that in different countries the leading/responsible institution for environment statistics and for leading the described inter-agency platforms or committees could rest upon the national statistical office, the ministry of environment, or be a joint effort.

3.8 Monitoring And Evaluation

Monitoring and evaluation will include:

i. Annual reports that will be submitted by each Member state NSO and consolidated by the COMESA Secretariat for presentation to the COMESA Committee on Statistical Matters.

ii. Within Member States, quarterly reports should be compiled and submitted to the COMESA Secretariat.

iii. Regional workshops of environmental statisticians dealing with the initiation of project review and implementation issues.

iv. Country visits by COMESA Secretariat.

v. Peer review and exchange arrangements based on promotion of country best practice.
