Great point CS Betty. We need full membership of RECs to ratify. We require more effort here.

The African Medical Supplies Platform - amsp.africa - is inspired by the AfCFTA and it is a demonstration of how the Agreement can transform whole sectors and impact lives of African citizens.

Ecommerce and ICT are of course of great relevance (without doubt!). But have always been of the view that having multilateral or regional rules when we dont have strong home grown companies defeats the purpose. Most of the ecommerce companies are not from Africa or owned by non africans. Should we engage in ecommerce rules negotiations or rather just discuss on infrastructure bottlenecks and build ecommerce companies?
