Opening Remarks by Antonio Pedro, UNECA Deputy Executive Secretary at the High-level Panel on "The AfCFTA and Private Sector: Realizing Africa’s Full Potential"
| dc.description | On June 16, 2022, the KAS Office Ethiopia/AU and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) jointly organized a high-level panel discussion in Addis Ababa to discuss “The AfCFTA and the Private Sector. Realizing Africa’s Full Potential”. The event brought together key stakeholders of the AU Commission, the Regional Economic Communities, the AU member states, entrepreneurs, and business associations. In his opening remarks, UNECA Deputy Executive Secretary Antonio Pedro welcomed the participants. Mr. Pedro said the panel will help evaluate the progress of the AfCFTA and the inclusion of the private sector: “The national AfCFTA implementation strategies being developed by several countries with the support of ECA highlight the importance of inclusive implementation of the AfCFTA through improved private sector engagement, including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as well as women and youth.” Mr. Pedro also spoke about the AfCFTA Country Business Index (ACBI), which is the primary and innovative tool to capture private sector opinion on the implementation of the Agreement and provides useful information on trade challenges faced by women traders and small businesses. | en |
