Informal traders in African cities are being used as political pawns (The Conversation)

September 27, 2019

In an op-ed in The Conversation, IFPRI researcher Danielle Resnick wrote on the relationship between government and local informal vendors in many developing countries. She stated that these vendors must contend with volatile policies that, at best, lead to poor working conditions, and at worst, harassment and confiscation of merchandise. This op-ed was republished in African Eye Report, Dekat (South Africa), AllAfrica.com, Nigeria Sun, India Gazette, International Travel News, Hong Kong Herald, Manilla Metro News, Herald Globe, Beijing News, and Venezuela Star.
