Description

African trade integration has entered a new phase, driven by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), continent‑wide investment, and the rise of pan‑African operators. Turning this momentum into physical flows—maritime, air, and land—and into value created locally depends on a set of concrete levers that make the difference: energy interconnection, logistics corridors, the opening of skies, and patient financing for infrastructure. In this context, this session highlights the conditions that enable connectivity projects to succeed and the best practices that can be replicated at the continental scale.
