The African Continental Free Trade Area

Why Are We The Best?

The African Continental Free Trade Area

We take every advantage of the trade liberalization measures of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)

The new AfCFTA is eliminating barriers to trade across Africa. National boundaries no longer limit business dealings across the continent as tariff and nontariff barriers fall. Thus, it is an ideal time for American businesses to enter the African market to establish in one country and expand into others. Similarly, African businesses will be able to grow through partnerships across national boundaries.

Africa's Women Take the Lead
