In order to help member countries and the region as a whole become more competitive, we promote integration by:
- Working to reduce cross-border transaction costs, fostering economic development, creating jobs and contributing to poverty reduction;
- Financing the construction of physical infrastructure and aiding in the creation of regulatory frameworks in key sectors;
- Connecting transportation networks, supporting cost-reducing energy integration and bridging the digital divide to unite economies and build synergies;
- Bringing together public and private sector leaders for regional dialogues on economic policy and integration;
- Supporting countries in their efforts to negotiate regional trade, cooperation and investment agreements;
- Training government employees in areas that will facilitate cross-border cooperation and trade.
