The Strategic Role of National Trade Facilitation Committees in Advancing the AfCFTA: A Call for Action

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), launched in January 2021, represents a historic opportunity to transform Africa’s economic landscape. By creating a single market for goods and services across 54 countries, the AfCFTA aims to boost intra-African trade, foster industrialization, and drive sustainable economic growth. However, the success of this ambitious agreement hinges on its effective implementation, and National Trade Facilitation Committees (NTFCs) are pivotal in turning this vision into reality. As the backbone of trade facilitation reforms, NTFCs must adopt strategic, actionable measures to ensure the AfCFTA delivers on its transformative potential.
