Developing countries are intensifying the efforts to achieve stable and sustainable economic development by themselves.

Pakistan has newly established a trade promotion commission headed by the prime minister to simplify the country's trade procedures and remove the tariff barriers to commercial transactions between countries in the border areas.

The new commission will reportedly improve the country’s trading activities and provide a new system for preparing a roadmap for trade promotion and controlling its progress in real time.

The country also plans to take urgent measures to increase the national capacity of harbour facilities and form a working group to supervise the process.

In addition, it intends to set goals for simplifying other procedures such as those for transport and customs clearance in harbours for import and export enterprises and providing them with utmost convenience.

The Senegalese government announced a large-scale investment programme for agriculture for the development of modern agricultural centres. According to it, the largest-ever funds will be invested in the area of Podor to prevent the youth emigration and ensure a stable food supply.

It set a clear goal to block the flow of illegal emigrants to Europe by developing the regional economy.

The minister of agriculture, food sovereignty and animal husbandry of the country stressed the need for young people to introduce innovative technologies into the country’s new areas for agricultural development and actively develop them, instead of choosing the dangerous way of crossing the Atlantic.

According to the comprehensive “Senegal 2050” agenda, the government plans to modernize the grain and peanut cultivation sectors to overcome the vulnerability to irregular rainfall and climate change.

It also aims to plant a new variety of maize in about 8 000 square kilometres of land in cooperation with Türkiye for the development of livestock farming in the region.

Kenya announced a plan to turn agriculture into a modern and practical sector into which high technologies have been introduced by 2030 and is now implementing it.

The execution of the plan will reportedly reduce the import of food by half, significantly increase the export of processed agricultural products and create more than 2.4 million jobs.

After setting a high goal for electrification, Ethiopia now works to carry it out. Last year, it expanded the national power transmission networks and encouraged rural areas to widely exploit solar energy, thereby making 65 percent of its population use electricity.

Mozambique also puts efforts into industrialization and diversification of the economy by relying on its rich resources.

Recently, the President said that the country should not only export its energy resources and raw materials, but make effective use of them to boost production and develop processing industries. Now it increases investments in power generation, transport infrastructure development and other fields while speeding up energy development.
