The African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), which took effect Jan. 1, involves more countries than any other trade bloc on Earth. Of the 55 member states of the African Union, 54 all but Eritrea have signed on to the treaty, which aims to create a single market through the elimination of tariffs on 90% of all goods by 2022.
The United Nations predicts AfCFTA will boost intra-African trade by 52% within a year. To capitalize on the accord which was signed in Rwanda in 2018 The Made Man Foundation (TMM) is hosting a series of gatherings as part of its “100 Days of Action” campaign. The goal: to build a global coalition among African nations and the worldwide diaspora.
