Abstract
Most business leaders in Malawi see the
Malawi Trade Portal (MTP) as a step forward in the provision
of public information via online platforms and the promotion
of transparency in the delivery of public services. Its
purpose is to facilitate trade by promoting easier access to
information on laws, regulations, measures, standards,
procedures, and forms related tothe governance of exports,
imports, and transit of goods. This SmartLesson describes
how the MTP is helping authorities facilitate trade by
increasing transparency and accountability and by reducing
the time it takes to access regulatory information on trade
across borders. and it shares the lessons the authors
believe are the most replicable.
