The Role of Policy in Shaping Africa’s Economic Growth

2024-12-17 | Precious Ike-Mbah

Economic growth in Africa is intrinsically tied to effective policy-making. 🏛️💼 From infrastructure development to trade agreements, policies have the power to either unlock or hinder opportunities. Let’s take a real-life example: The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), one of the continent's most ambitious trade agreements, aims to increase intra-Africa trade by reducing tariffs and improving access to markets. By supporting the free movement of goods and services, AfCFTA is set to revolutionize the way business is conducted across borders. This move, along with other regional policies, is expected to bolster Africa’s economic growth for decades to come. On AEF Live, we explore policies that directly impact sectors such as agriculture, technology, and infrastructure, ensuring that the African public understands how these changes can shape their businesses and lives. 💬 Question: How do you think policies can better support innovation and business growth in Africa?
