In May 2011, private sector stakeholders formed the Borderless Alliance to increase trade across West Africa. The region is on the cusp of unprecedented economic growth - harmonizing trade rules, reducing delays and costs of doing business across the region and raising awareness of the issues affecting trade are critical to the livelihoods of millions of people. West Africa is at a key moment - the Borderless Alliance is working to ensure millions enjoy the benefits of increased trade.
