The Government of Eswatini has therefore identified the export sector as an important driver for rapid economic growth and development. The country's National Development Strategy and most recently, the Strategic Road Map 2019-2023 identify the Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises and the private sector as the engine for economic growth and the export sector as the main means of ensuring a vibrant and a self-sustaining economy. Export success contributes to job creation and the reduction of poverty in the country.
The need for an Export Guide was identified by Government through the Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority, as necessary to promote the participation of SMME in the export industry. The purpose of this document is to provide a training guide that clarifies steps and process which an aspiring Eswatini exporter would take, in developing their export business. It is based on the experience of current exporters and especially support organizations in the export business
there has been an improved participation of the creatives in the export of their products. The handicraft sector have benefitted from this trainings as some have established shops in the United States of America and some parts of Europe.
