African Continental Free Trade Area

UNCTAD has lent its support to the African Union Commission and its members in negotiations on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement, and in building their capacities to integrate regionally and into the world economy on an equitable basis.

It also provides analytical and advisory support to the AfCFTA Secretariat and its members for better understanding the economic implications and development outcomes of the different liberalization options, tariff schedule offers and rules of origin.
