Supporting policies and infrastructure crucial for effective implementation of AfCFTA
For the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to have a positive influence on long-term investment in Africa’s productive capacities, there is need for the continent to develop appropriate supporting policies, build requisite infrastructure and ensure an educated work force. This was said by the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Edward Kallon, during Nigeria’s AfCFTA Forum that is underway in Lagos under the theme; Effective Implementation for Industrialization and Inclusive Development in Nigeria. The increase in Nigeria’s exports to its African partners would be most pronounced in agricultural and food sectors closely followed by industrial sectors, thereby offering invaluable opportunities to industrialize through trade. The United Nations is here to support Nigeria to make the AfCFTA work for the county’s people, for the micro, small and medium enterprises, and for the women and youth entrepreneurs.
