UNCTAD conducted the voluntary peer review of Zimbabwe in 2012. The Peer Review Report includes some recommendations to reform and strengthen the competition regime and reinforce the competition culture in Zimbabwe. In this regard, under a European Union (EU) funded Trade and Private Sector Development Programme aiming at supporting economic recovery and diversi-fication, and poverty reduction in Zimbabwe, UNCTAD started to implement competition law and policy related activities in 2014 in order to implement the peer review recommendations.

The inclusion of competition law and economics courses into the curriculum of universities in Zimbabwe is an important element in creating a competition culture as well as developing human capital for an effective competition regime. In this respect, UNCTAD has organized this training of trainers course in consultation with the Zimbabwe Competition and Tariff Commission and the University of Zimbabwe.

The aim of this course is to familiarize participants with key competition law and economics concepts and principles which will enable them to deliver a similar course to be incorporated into the University curriculum.

Approach:

The course is designed based on the principle of active learning and participants are expected to be active in the discussions and group exercises, and share relevant examples and experiences from Zimbabwe. This 5-day course will be delivered in the form of lectures prepared by two facilitators and discussion of the practical application of competition principles in selected key cases in a seminar format.

 

Each topic will involve:

  • a presentation of the key principles and theories

  • a discussion of key international cases

  • in-depth discussion of selected case studies

  • a wrap up of the main points

The relevant reading materials will be provided in advance of the sessions.
