The AfCFTA Training Programme, led by African Export–Import Bank, is expected to positively impact African businesses by enhancing their understanding and utilization of the African Continental Free Trade Area. This initiative aims to boost intra-African trade, potentially leading to increased economic development and investment opportunities across the continent.
The African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank), in collaboration with the American University in Cairo (AUC) and the AfCFTA Secretariat, is organizing the third edition of the AfCFTA Training Programme from June 16 to 18, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt. This program aims to equip African corporates with the necessary skills and knowledge to maximize the benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Key figures like Yemi Kale, Muhammad Ali, and Stephen Tio Kauma have emphasized the program's importance in addressing the limited understanding of AfCFTA's technical provisions and practical applications. The training will cover trade finance, supply chain management, and export/import operations, translating legal provisions into business-ready strategies. African Export–Import Bank, a strategic partner of the African Union in implementing AfCFTA, has also launched initiatives such as the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) and a US$10 billion Adjustment Fund to support the agreement.
