Theme: Awakening Africa’s Sleeping Giants in the Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)
What: The inaugural Africa Private Sector Summit (APSS) was held in March 2020 under the theme “Righting the Wrongs of Doing Business under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement.” The conversations focused on the collaborative role of the private sector, governments, international bodies, academia, and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in creating an enabling environment for facilitating intra-African trade in readiness for the AfCFTA
In light of the success of Series 1, the organizers are organizing Series 2 of the APSS. The theme of the Summit is: ‘Awakening Africa’s Sleeping Giants in the Implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)”. The High-Level Summit will convene stakeholders for a unique collaboration that is expected to generate goodwill and commitment from both the African Private and Public sectors in implementing key recommendations geared towards optimizing the benefits of the AfCFTA.
Who: The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI), together with the UN Economic Commission for Africa and the European Union will convene African business giants, industry players in the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), policy makers and investors.
