An examination of the trade dimensions within NEPAD, and their direct and indirect implications, has to be undertaken at three levels - trade-related proposals in other spheres, specific proposals on trade, and perceptions and proposals on Africa's approach to and location within the global trade system. These all pose a number of significant challenges and questions for trade unions in Africa.
