Eba’s academic journey and professional career in the field of economics over the last decade, have been driven by a deep commitment to understanding and solving the complex challenges of global trade and development. With a PhD in Economics from the University of the West of Scotland, her educational background laid a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied economics, specializing in international trade policies, commodity markets, and economic development strategies, particularly within the African context.
