The AfCFTA Secretariat remains committed to working with cities, sub-national governments and the private sector to accelerate continental market integration.

Au Sommet #InvestLagos3, le SG de la ZLECAf S.E. Mene a rappelé que la mise en œuvre de la ZLECAf se joue dans les villes et les corridors commerciaux — pas seulement dans les capitales.

Commerce intra-africain : ~230 Mds USD en 2026. #IATF2027 au Nigeria : +100 000 participants attendus.

[AfCFTA Secretariat Official @AfCFTA]

"The AfCFTA is negotiated by sovereign states, but it is realized on the ground — in the cities, corridors, and commercial ecosystems where trade actually takes place."
— H.E. @WamkeleMene at #InvestLagos3 today.

Les PME africaines de l’agro-alimentaire ont un marché de 1,4 milliard de personnes à portée. Ce qui leur manque encore, ce sont les systèmes qui le rendent accessible.

Le Secrétariat de la ZLECAf et le FCDO britannique ont tenu une réunion stratégique de deux jours sur la mise en œuvre de la ZLECAf et un nouveau programme régional centré sur le commerce agro-alimentaire : douanes, commerce numérique, chaînes de valeur, appui aux PME.

L’accord est en place. La mise en œuvre est le travail qui suit.

Retweetez si vous pensez que l’agro-alimentaire est le secteur qui peut démontrer le plus rapidement la valeur de la ZLECAf.

African agri-food SMEs have a market of 1.4 billion people within reach. What they still need are the systems to make it accessible.

The AfCFTA Secretariat and the UK FCDO held a two-day strategic meeting on AfCFTA implementation and a new regional agri-food trade programme: customs, digital trade, value chains, SME support.
The agreement is in place. Implementation is the work that follows.

Retweet if you think agri-food is the sector that can most quickly demonstrate the value of the AfCFTA.

A fisherman on Lake Victoria catches Mukene. A trader in Kinshasa wants to buy it. Yet the fish takes a detour through Dubai before reaching its destination.

This is not a logistics challenge. It is a connectivity challenge.

Africa produces, Africa demands, but Africa still struggles to trade efficiently with itself. Limited direct air cargo routes increase costs, delay deliveries, and reduce the value of African products before they reach African markets.

A borderless Africa is not only about the movement of people. It is also about the seamless movement of goods, services, and opportunities.

Direct air cargo. Direct trade. Stronger African value chains.

Join the movement and sign the petition today. Share this with your friends, families and colleagues, and help build momentum for a visa- free Borderless Africa.

Ce qui ralentit le commerce entre pays africains tient rarement au marché. Cela tient aux systèmes.

GIPC Deputy CEO, Mr. Abdul-Razak Baba, joined stakeholders at the Ghana-U.S. Chamber of Commerce Trade Mission in Accra, which focused on strengthening trade, investment, and economic cooperation between Ghana and the United States.

Discussions highlighted Ghana’s attractiveness as an investment destination, with H.E. Victor Emmanuel Smith, Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States, reaffirming the country’s readiness for strategic partnerships, supported by its stable democracy, strong financial sector, strategic location, and gateway position to African markets.

Speaking on behalf of H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Sampson Ahi, highlighted opportunities across agriculture, manufacturing, fintech, renewable energy, logistics, mining, and digital innovation. He also pointed to Ghana’s improving macroeconomic outlook, its role as host of the AfCFTA Secretariat, and the 24-Hour Economy Programme as key drivers of growth and investment.

The engagement reinforced a shared commitment to translating dialogue into investment, joint ventures, and long-term partnerships.

Building the One African Market requires more than ambition, it requires the infrastructure, partnerships and systems that enable trade to move seamlessly across borders.

On Day 2 of #BiasharaAfrika2026, leaders and industry experts explored solutions to strengthen trade facilitation, logistics corridors, digital trade and cross-border payments, while advancing partnerships that support implementation under the #AfCFTA.

Watch the highlights.

[AUDA-NEPAD @NEPAD_Agency]

This week, AUDA-NEPAD joined @jica_direct_en , the @AfCFTA Secretariat, the @_AfricanUnion Commission, @Kenya_Ports, Kenya Revenue Authority, and the Northern Corridor Authority in Mombasa for the Joint Trade Facilitation Capacity Development Workshop.

The Northern Corridor, being discussed serves Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and beyond. What happens at these borders has consequences far inland, and intra-African trade at roughly 15% of the continent's total reflects how much is still being left on the table.

AUDA-NEPAD and partners have been working to change that for over a decade. The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) provides the continent-wide blueprint for the transport and connectivity infrastructure that makes regional trade possible. One-Stop Border Posts go further, replacing two separate border clearance processes with a single jointly managed facility, cutting waiting times, paperwork, and costs for traders.

The AfCFTA sets the legal foundation. PIDA builds the physical connections. OSBPs reduce the bottlenecks at the crossing point. The work in Mombasa this week is about making sure all three are delivering for the trader on the ground.
