<p>The Department for International Trade is actively monitoring trade restrictions
and their impact on supply chains and is working with partner governments in Africa
to reduce disruption to them. At the G20, the United Kingdom supported commitment
to keeping supply chains open and ensuring that restrictions are proportionate, temporary,
and transparent. We have worked with Egypt on the supply of PPE and other medical
equipment, and with Tunisia and Morocco so that electronic certificates of origin
for goods they import are accepted for the duration of the Covid-19 period, mitigating
disruption to UK-Africa supply chains by streamlining the customs process.</p><p>HMG
is supporting African countries during the Covid-19 crisis through development assistance.
This includes a vulnerable supply chains facility and programmes working in partnership
with countries to respond to disruptions in global trade and supply chains in several
countries, including South Africa, Nigeria, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Mozambique
and Lesotho.</p><p> </p>
