Abstract
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is one of the flagship projects of Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want (Agenda 2063), the African Union’s long-term development strategy, fashioned after Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN 2030 SDG) for transforming the continent into a global powerhouse. The AfCFTA is expected to create the world’s largest free trade area bringing together 55 African countries consisting of 1.3 billion people with a combined GDP of approximately US$ 3.4 trillion as well as to expand the size of Africa’s economy to US$29 trillion by 2050.
