Trade Committee Formed for AfCFTA

Uganda launched its African Continental Free Trade Area National Implementation Committee to coordinate participation in Africa’s single market and drive export growth. The 30-member team from government, business, and development partners will align policies, expand industrial linkages, and support small and medium enterprises. Led by Trade Minister Gen Mbadi, the initiative seeks to boost production, job creation, and regional competitiveness through AfCFTA’s $3 trillion, 1.3-billion-person market.
