"The ease with which Africans can move across borders within the continent plays an important role in realizing the benefits of the AfCFTA to the full. Yet, the Protocol on the Free Movement of Persons, adopted in 2018, remains with just four ratifications to this day. The fourth and last ratification so far was by Niger on 5 July 2019.

Deputy Executive Secretary - Programme Support (ECA)
