Will intra-African trade reach a new level?
Opportunities, challenges, and pathways forward for the African Continental Free Trade Agreement and its effects on food security
It has been more than four years since the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) was officially launched on January 1st, 2021. The launch of one of the largest free trade zones in the world, covering a market of over 1.3 billion people in 54 countries, was accompanied by great hope that it represents a transformative milestone in Africa's economic integration journey increasing intra-African trade by 53%. After close to five years, it is time to take stock of what the AfCFTA has achieved so far and what challenges its implementation currently faces.
