Training of Trade Attachés for Senegal fisheries & ITO sectors
Trade Attachés (TAs) from Senegal based in the EU, play a very important role in trade promotion and market connectivity. Since they are based in the target market, they have direct access and exposure to market information, networks and potential buyers. However, their contribution is often underutilized.
