GTAP Network: Alan A. Powell Award
In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the establishment and early development of GTAP, the Center for Global Trade Analysis established the Alan A. Powell Award in 1995, which is presented annually in recognition of outstanding service on the GTAP Advisory Board.We are very pleased to announce that this year’s recipient of the Alan A. Powell Award is the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, represented by Stephen Karingi.
Regional integration is hard. Regional integration can be very beneficial. Regional integration is happening in Africa. And, the efforts of the UNECA, substantially spearheaded by Stephen, are a big reason why so much progress is being made. Alan’s legacy with GTAP enabled the UNECA and people like Stephen to have impact, and, that is what they have done, and will continue to do.
Thank you, UNECA, for your many important contributions to fostering regional integration in Africa.
