Tradeflow Advocacy (TfA)
TfA is dedicated to driving the adoption and realization of AfCFTA through strategic advocacy campaigns and projects including #WomeninCrossBorderTrade, #AfricanYouth4AfCFTA, AfCFTA-based student clubs in tertiary institutions across the continent. With over 50% of African Youth working in the creative industries, the approval of the ‘AfCFTA Protocol on Youth and Women’ will further enhance free trade on the continent, and as a result, preparation and sensitization of our Youth population on AfCFTA has become paramount.
Tradeflow works to encourage and boost the interest and participation of the African Youth population to leverage the AfCFTA in order to access other markets beyond their respective countries, and grow their income. The participation of the Youth will ensure collaboration and deepened unity, while promoting knowledge sharing and cultural exchange.
