The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat and International Trade Centre have renewed their partnership to accelerate practical trade opportunities for African businesses under the AfCFTA.
The renewed memorandum of understanding was signed on Monday on the sidelines of Biashara Afrika 2026, a platform that brings together policymakers, business leaders, financiers and trade partners to strengthen intra-African trade and investment.
The agreement signals a shift from negotiating the AfCFTA framework towards implementing practical measures aimed at enabling businesses to trade more easily across the continent.
The partnership was signed by AfCFTA secretary-general Wamkele Mene and ITC executive director Pamela Coke-Hamilton.
