ABOUT ACHIAA ABENA OTUO
I am a commercial transactions lawyer with a strong focus on international trade policy, market access, and sustainable economic development. My professional background spans advisory work on African trade integration, economic governance, and climate-related initiatives, with hands-on experience engaging both government and private sector stakeholders. Currently pursuing an LLM in International Economic Law in the UK as a Chevening Scholar, I am looking to build capacity in leveraging law and policy to advance regional integration, unlock market opportunities, and support Africa’s transition toward climate-resilient growth. I am particularly interested in opportunities at the intersection of law, trade, climate action, and development, where I can contribute to shaping policies and strategies that drive inclusive and sustainable outcomes.
