Kenya’s Ministry for Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development, in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and financial support of the European Union (EU) launched the Kenya National AfCFTA Implementation Strategy in Nairobi. The event was graced by the Cabinet Secretary for Industrialization, Trade and Enterprise Development, Honorable Betty Maina.

The National Strategy will leverage deeper integration within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to facilitate an expansion of Kenya’s trade and investment in Africa, support structural transformation and foster economic growth and sustainable development.

The AfCFTA strategy aims to boost opportunities for industrial diversification, investment and job creation and also deepen relations with other countries in the African Continent and beyond.
