AfCFTA: Building a positive image for the African market

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has the potential to be a transformative force in Africa’s economic development, connecting people and markets across the continent and fostering a new era of regional integration. Drawing parallels with other successful regional organizations historically built on economic integration, such as the European Union, can provide insights into how the AfCFTA can achieve its goals.

The European Union is an excellent example of how economic integration can bring countries together and create opportunities for growth and development. The EU began as a trading bloc, but over time it has evolved into a political and economic union, with member states sharing common policies and institutions. The EU has been instrumental in driving economic growth and prosperity across the continent, reducing barriers to trade and investment and creating a level playing field for businesses.

Similarly, the AfCFTA has the potential to create a single market for goods and services, free movement of people, and a common currency. By eliminating trade barriers, harmonizing regulations, and promoting regional value chains, the AfCFTA could foster a new era of economic growth and development in Africa. It could help diversify African economies away from dependence on extractive industries and create jobs and opportunities for the continent’s burgeoning youth population.

However, the success of the AfCFTA will depend on changing perceptions about the African market, which has long been plagued by negative stereotypes and misconceptions. To attract investment to the continent, it is crucial to ensure that the general public has timely and accurate information about the AfCFTA and the opportunities it presents.

Positive image-building activities with the foreign business community are also essential. Inviting investors to participate in investment and trade fairs, and organizing trade missions can showcase the potential of the African market. Additionally, using senior political figures and government officials, existing foreign investors, and the expatriate community as investment “ambassadors” can leverage their prominence and links to existing contacts abroad to attract investment to the continent.

Organizing visits by foreign journalists and opinion makers is another powerful way to change perceptions about the African market. Providing information for the publication of positive articles that present the continent as an attractive place for investment can go a long way in changing the narrative.
