Official Launch: The Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) is now active, uniting 1.2 billion people into a $3.4 trillion economic bloc. Ignite Trade Africa (ITA) is bridging the information gap to ensure SMEs—the backbone of Africa’s private sector—are ready to lead.
The Challenge
While the AfCFTA offers unprecedented growth, over 70% of Africa’s private sector remains under-prepared. Many SMEs lack critical information on:
- Cross-border customs procedures and regulatory standards.
- Required trade facilitation documents.
- Regional value chain integration.
Our Solution: The “Ignite AfCFTA” Journey
Ignite Trade Africa has launched a structured, 4-month capacity-building program. Unlike theory-heavy webinars, this series focuses on practical trade execution and market entry.
Who Should Attend?
- Entrepreneurs & SME owners looking to scale beyond their domestic borders.
- Established Companies seeking a strategic entry point into new African markets.
