Implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area for Demand of Transport Infrastructure and Services
| dc.description | This documentary focused on the Implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area for the Demand for Transport Infrastructure and Services. In 2019, the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement entered into force. Implementing the AfCFTA can translate into s a 28 % increase in intra-African trade by 2030. Demand will also grow for all modes of transport and the vehicles that serve them. The share of transport will partially shift from roads and trucks towards rail and railway wagons. The proportion of goods carried by ships or aircraft will remain practically the same. However, the number of tonnes of freight transported by air would almost double, from 2.3 million tonnes to 4.5 million. But inadequate transport infrastructure and services could hamper the realization of AfCFTA’s benefits. The urgent need to improve transport connectivity in Africa required clear insight, so we reap the agreement’s full benefits through the integrated planning of trade and transport. | en |
