UNCTAD works with Governments of developing countries and key stakeholders to improve their digital economy capabilities through eTrade Readiness Assessments. These assessments analyse the digital and e-commerce ecosystems of beneficiary countries and provide policy recommendations based on the challenges and opportunities for e-commerce development identified across the seven policy areas. To operationalize those recommendations, UNCTAD established an eTrade Implementation Support Mechanism in 2020 to increase in-country coordination support and build national capacities needed to ensure efficient and effective implementation of e-commerce policies and initiatives. The eTrade Readiness Assessment of Zimbabwe is the fortieth such assessment conducted by UNCTAD and the twenty-first in Africa. It helps identify the challenges and measures to be taken to support the development of e-commerce and digital trade in line with Zimbabwe’s vision for digital transformation and its development aspirations. The eT Ready development process has laid the foundation for strengthening policy dialogue and engagement with a broad range of national stakeholders.
