AfCFTA unveils new app for businesses

African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat has unveiled a new App for businesses to trade across Africa.

The global one-stop-technology platform will link them to possible sponsors for their innovative projects that can boost trade across the continent.

The platform dubbed AfCFTA App, will issue a mark of identity to every organisation or businesses interested in benefiting from the free trade area to ease ways of doing business and getting partnerships across Africa.

Francis Mangeni, Director of Trade Promotion and Programmes at the Accra-based AfCFTA Secretariat said the app will go live on January 1.

This comes barely two weeks to the African Union Heads of State summit slated for December 5.
