AfCFTA Secretariat 297d ago

The AfCFTA Conference on Special Economic Zones (SEZs), held in Djibouti, convened high-level government officials, SEZ authorities, private sector stakeholders, and development partners to craft a unified approach to SEZs within the AfCFTA framework. The conference focused on aligning SEZ strategies with the objectives of the AfCFTA, exploring how these zones can serve as engines for industrialisation, cross-border investment, and value chain development. Key sessions examined regulatory harmonisation, regional collaboration, and the integration of SEZs into national implementation plans. Hosted in a country strategically positioned as a gateway to African and global markets, the Djibouti conference underscored the vital role SEZs play in unlocking the full potential of the AfCFTA. #AfCFTA #SEZConference #Djibouti2025 #CreatingOneAfricanMarket
