Heads of state of the Africa Union (AU) have unanimously adopted the Action Compact of the maiden edition of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD), which took place in Ghana last January, involving the continent’s private sector in the implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The Africa Prosperity Dialogues held under the theme: “The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA): From Ambition to Action, Delivering Prosperity through Continental Trade”, dovetailed into the theme of the 36th AU summit which was “The Year of AfCFTA: Acceleration of the African Continental Free Trade Area Implementation”.
The Africa Prosperity Dialogues, which will take place annually, creates a dedicated platform for Africa’s private sector to network among themselves and with public officials on the process of getting Africa’s single market working quickly.
The AU has fully endorsed this shared ownership approach initiated by the Africa Prosperity Network in partnership with the AfCFTA Secretariat and the Government of Ghana, the host nation of the AfCFTA Secretariat.
