Closing Statement to The Regional Cotton & Textile Executive Summit
Dr. Andrew Sisson, Director of the Regional Economic Development Services Office of USAID

For many of you here, New Year’s Day 2005 was not the great celebration of years past. On that day, with a single stroke, 30 years of protection for one of the developing world’s most vulnerable industries – cotton fiber and textiles - came to an end. The cessation of the World Trade Organization’s Multi-Fiber Agreement, dealt all of you a rude blow.

From an idea, a good idea, but nevertheless, just an idea, I see here today a network of very savvy business women -150 women from 7 countries. I’m told you are just “finding” your communal voice. But trust me, you are there. I can hear you. And if you pick up the phone to COMESA, speaking in that strong, communal voice, I can guarantee you COMESA’s going to hear you!
