Preparing for Intra-African Trade
This
course helps prospective exporters understand the opportunities and challenges
of intra-African trade. Only 16% of Africa's total exports are with other
African countries. The course explains why this is the case, both at a
continental level as well as at the enterprise level, and introduces some of
reasons and means which African SMEs might deploy to start profitably trading
in the continent. Particular focus is placed on the African Continental Free
Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which provides new opportunities to increase
intra-African trade in the form of easier access to African markets.
After
having completed this course, participants will be able to:
Assess the potential of intra-African exports;Identify measures and initiatives designed to provide
support to African exporters;Assess the readiness of their business to take advantage
of intra-African trade; andStart planning to engage in intra-African exports.
