Africa’s private sector is calling for intentional policymaking that genuinely empowers African businesses, starting with prioritising African-made products in government procurement. In this upcoming episode of the AfCFTA Podcast, Dr Amany Asfour, President of the Africa Business Council, shares clear, practical, and actionable recommendations on how governments can translate policy commitments into real support for African enterprises.
She explores how strengthening domestic and regional markets, empowering the private sector, and aligning procurement policies with the objectives of the AfCFTA can accelerate industrialisation and deepen intra-African trade.
This episode offers valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and development partners committed to building resilient internal markets and unlocking Africa’s full economic potential under the AfCFTA.
