Seven years of the AfCFTA—a milestone worth celebrating! ??? However, more work remains to ensure SMEs, women, and youth fully benefit from this agreement. As we mark this anniversary, AfCFTA Dialogues remains committed to driving conversations and solutions that make the AfCFTA a reality for all. Commitments must translate into action. #AfCFTA #OATA?#Afcftadialogues #CreatingOneAfricanMarket
Seven years ago today, 44 countries signed the Agreement Establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area. Today, 54 have signed, 48 have ratified, and AfCFTA is shaping Africa’s trade reality. With the legal foundation in place, AfCFTA is expanding market access, strengthening trade corridors, and unlocking investment opportunities. Key tools, including PAPSS, the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund, and the E-Tariff Book, are making trade more seamless. The Agreement, along with its protocols on Trade in Goods, Trade in Services, Investment, Intellectual Property Rights, Digital Trade, and Women and Youth in Trade, provides a rules-based framework for economic transformation. The Dispute Settlement Mechanism ensures transparency and investor confidence across Africa. AfCFTA is more than a trade agreement. It is Africa’s path to self-reliance, economic sovereignty, and sustainable growth. We remain committed to working with like-minded partners to accelerate implementation and create a thriving single market for all. The work is far from over. Implementation remains our priority. Africa’s trade future is here. Happy 7-year anniversary to the AfCFTA, the most rapidly ratified instrument in the history of the African Union.

Winston Churchill once said, "????? ?????????? ?????????????? ??????? ???? ???????????? ???? ????????????????”. The AfCFTA is a bold move toward Africa's economic transformation. If fully realized, it would produce substantial economic benefits, including helping 30 million people across Africa escape extreme poverty conditions while improving the financial circumstances for nearly 68 million individuals currently living on less than $5.50 a day. By 2035, it could add $450 billion to Africa’s income, driving a 7% economic expansion. But how do we turn this vision into reality for Africa and Africans? Our latest publication looks into the strategies needed to make this breakthrough happen at the continental, regional, and national levels.
