Abstract
The quest for regional integration has always been a key component for economic growth and development strategies in Africa. The expansion of goods markets as a result of the removal of trade barriers has the potential to overcome the many constraints associated with small national markets and provide opportunities for technology transfers, increased productivity, income generation, as well as job creation.
