Theme: “Enhancing Trade and Industrial Development - A Game Changer for Africa’s Growth” #AfCFTA21
Date: Tuesday 25th May – Wednesday 26th May 2021
Time: 09.00 AM – 16.30 PM (GMT), 12.00 – 19.30 (GMT+3), 05.00 – 12.30 (EST)
Format: The conference will host 7 panel discussions over 2 days with renowned experts from Africa and across the globe representing the trade sector, business, government, women, youth and academia.
Objective: The conference hosted under the auspices of the AfCFTA will sensitize a cross section of key African stakeholders and lawyers on the importance of the agreement in enhancing Africa’s economic development.
The Agreement calls on member states to allow tariff-free entry of goods (90%) requiring free access to commodities, goods and services across Africa – substantially increasing intra Africa trade as a result.
The conference is a pivotal opportunity for legal and trade practitioners, policy makers and the business community to influence the successful roll out of the AfCFTA ensuring national and regional mainstreaming of the Agreement through an African-wide network.
