<\/div>

The Africa Trade Forum 2018, hosted by Nigeria\u2019s Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, and co-organised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), The Rockefeller Foundation, and the African Union Commission (AUC), is set to take place on 2-3 November, 2018 in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The Forum will bring together stakeholders from across the continent, from political and governance spheres, the private sector and entrepreneurs, philanthropies, academia, researchers, and development partners, to discuss the process for realizing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).<\/p>\n

The AfCFTA was signed in March 2018 by 44 African countries and, if ratified, will become one of the world\u2019s largest trading blocs. It is also the biggest trade agreement signed since the World Trade Organisation (WTO) was established, bringing together 1.3 billion people with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of more than $2 trillion in a single market. The agreement aims to provide improved competition and lower business costs.<\/p>\n

The Forum\u2019s purpose is to look into the challenges and opportunities of the AfCFTA in individual African states, and to better understand how AfCFTA can drive economic development and prosperity on the continent for all of Africa\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of an integrated African market to industrialize Africa, spur growth, enhance welfare and create jobs has been around for a long time. However, with the actual emergence of the AfCFTA in 2018, the decision was taken by the Government to mobilize stakeholders in the Nigerian economy to understand its details, interpret its opportunities and reorganize our economic system for coherence and coordination, if the opportunities of the AfCFTA are to be realized and maximized. This Forum is a unique opportunity to proactively engage with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that AfCFTA works for Nigeria,\u201d says Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah, Nigeria\u2019s Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment.<\/p>\n

The AfCFTA offers a long-awaited platform for Africa to ramp up its industrialization through various channels such as eliminating tariffs on intra-African trade, which will result in more competitive services that reduce business costs, improve business efficiency, and enhance value to consumers.<\/p>\n

Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) Executive Secretary Vera Songwe says in an age of trade wars, Africa is sending a strong message that trade deals and reforms can be approached through consensus-building and cooperation, leaving no one behind.<\/p>\n

“In order to ensure the African Continental Free Trade Area has a game-changing impact on African economies, we must now develop clear strategies for product diversification and inclusive implementation. The speed at which countries have signed and are now ratifying the AfCFTA agreement underscores the momentum behind this African flagship initiative,” the ECA Chief said.<\/p>\n

According to ECA studies, Africa is less industrialized today than it was three decades ago. The continent\u2019s manufacturing share of output and exports has steadily declined, and Africa\u2019s exports remain largely concentrated in primary commodities and raw materials. Through AfCFTA,\u00a0industrialization will help create employment for Africa\u2019s growing youth population, thereby improving livelihoods, access to education and health.<\/p>\n

The agreement is also expected to lead to booming multi-sectoral growth in areas including agriculture, where the AfCFTA will provide opportunities to drive agri-business and provide access to new regional markets for farmers and regional agro-value chains. With regard to access to electricity, about 600 million Africans still lack access to electricity. If current trends continue, it could take up to the year 2080 until Africa achieves full electrification. The AfCFTA would help build momentum on establishing an integrated set of platforms and partnerships to drive regional power systems, accelerate energy access for productive use, and bring down the costs of Africa\u2019s power generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to support ECA and AUC to set the table and steer the conversation on the AfCFTA with Africa\u2019s leaders. This Forum is an opportunity to work together to address challenges, discuss solutions, and increase awareness about the agreement\u2019s ability to be a transformative tool that improves the lives of millions of Africans, especially the most vulnerable,\u201d said Mamadou Biteye, Managing Director, Africa, for The Rockefeller Foundation.<\/p>\n

The trade forum will provide a platform to discuss Africa\u2019s participation and ownership of the AfCFTA objectives and examine how intra-regional trade can enable prosperity in Africa. The Forum will bring together stakeholders to determine how nations can move from a signed AfCFTA to real action and implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AfCFTA is critical for Africa\u2019s economic competitiveness and development. Once the African Continental Free Trade Area starts to fully function, African enterprises will be exposed to large economies of scale and scope. With expanded production and competitiveness, as well as increased investment, our enterprises will be able to increase Africa\u2019s share of global trade, creating opportunities for economic development as well as the prosperity of African countries,\u201d said the Africa Union Commission.<\/p>\n
