Introduction: LDC services exports, the WTO services waiver for LDCs and preferences notified by members

This paper focuses on Zambia as an LDC and a services exporter. It does so embedded in the immediate context of the overall question of LDC services exports, their promotion and the operationalisation of the WTO’s LDC Services Waiver. It thus serves as a case study — one of an initial set of four — and should be read in conjunction with the overview paper “Effective Market Access for LDC Services Exports — An Analysis of the WTO Services Waiver for LDCs”, which considers cross-cutting observations and conclusions.
