AfCFTA What you need to know
Year: 2023
Content-Type: Report
Description: Now that AfCFTA has become – at least technically – part of national law and regulation in over 85% of 2 Introduction the AU member States, ATPC is currently focusing on how to take the AfCFTA a step closer to the ground so that the ordinary African citizen can make sense of what the free trade area is all about and exploit its opportunities. Indeed, the AfCFTA will realize its potential to the full only if Africans, and particularly the African business community, understand, own and take advantage of it. However, we also know that the African business landscape is predominantly made up of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), including women-owned businesses, who lack the capacity to invest in understanding the opportunities created by the AfCFTA. This information asymmetry needs to be bridged over time. In this regard, ECA is pleased to launch this information booklet, titled AfCFTA: What You Need to Know.
