Economic and Prosperity
Main purpose of job: The British High Commission in South Africa (SA) delivers a portfolio of activities to support broad-based and inclusive growth for poverty reduction in SA. You will work in the Economic Growth team, with responsibility for implementing the Economic Partnership Agreement in SA, overcoming bilateral market access barriers, managing export promotion activities, and delivering on shared priorities for the global multilateral trading system. You will play a key role in ensuring the UK trade policy in SA contributes to UK international development and economic growth objectives, reporting to the Grade 7 Regional Trade for Development Adviser for Southern Africa. The UK and SA recognise the importance of economic growth to drive jobs and create prosperity for our people and are committed to working together to support corporations and people do business. The UK-SA trade relationship is very significant, accounting for over £10.5bn per year and with over £20bn of UK corporate investment supporting growth, jobs, and innovation in SA. The UK supports the SA government’s efforts to drive structural economic reform to increase inclusive, economic growth, including through international trade. The UK’s Economic Partnership Agreement with the Southern African Customs Union and Mozambique (UK-SACUM EPA) is the cornerstone of the UK’s trading relationship with SA, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia. Our EPA is principally focussed on increasing trade to promote sustainable growth and poverty reduction in Southern Africa. As part of the agreement, the UK committed to providing duty-free, quota free access to approximately 96% of goods imported from SA. On the multilateral stage, it is crucial that the UK and SA work together and with the membership of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to ensure that the rules-based international trading system continues to be a vital component to all countries’ trading relationships and economic development. Key milestones at the WTO, including the next Ministerial Conference, bring our Trade Ministers together to progress discussions on some of the most complex and important issues facing the global trading system and shared UK and SA interests.
