The Fragmented Support Systems Hindering Trade in Africa: Challenges Faced by SMEs

Ijidolapo Ijiwoye, Founder and CEO, Tradeflow Africa, co-authored with Dalton Makepeace, Founder, Promote: Global

Intra-African trade stands at only 14%. This policy brief traces much of that gap to fragmented SME support: inconsistent regulations, customs procedures and policies across borders, scattered information and slow processes that raise costs and limit market access. Written for South Africa’s G20 presidency, it calls on the G20 to prioritise intra-African trade and sets out six SME-centred recommendations to strengthen trade infrastructure and align national and regional policy.
