IGTN: Economic Partnership Agreements and the Cotonou Agreement The International Gender and Trade Network was interested in the Cotonou Agreement because of the role the Agreement could play in the development of the ACP region and strengthening ACP civil society organizations, the gender implications of the agreement and the potential for making this agreement more gender sensitive.
