Sao Tome and Principe urged to workout African Free Trade strategy

The United Nations System has urged the Government of Sao Tome and Principe, a small island state located off the Gulf of Guinea, to take deliberate action and make the necessary efforts, through an effective and integrated national strategy, to maximize the benefits that the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement will bring. The Resident Coordinator of the UN System in the country, Ms. Zahira Virani, made this call while addressing State officials and more than 50 participants of a workshop convened by the African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC) of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), in the town of Sao Tome, to deepen national understanding on the practical steps the country must take to benefit from the continental common market.
