Policy Brief Kenya’s National AfCTA Implementation Strategy 2022-2027

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement signed in 2018 marked a significant milestone for Africa’s trade agenda, creating a single market of over 1.2 billion people and a combined GDP of over $2.5 trillion. Kenya actively participates in regional economic integration initiatives and has developed a National AfCFTA Implementation Strategy to leverage deeper integration within the agreement framework.

The Strategy prioritises sectors for merchandise goods, services, and regional value chains and outlines risk mitigation plans, communication plans, and a monitoring and evaluation framework. Establishing an AfCFTA National Implementation Committee is also recommended to manage risks, mobilise financing, and empower youth and persons with disabilities.

This comprehensive approach to trade and investment opportunities in Africa is set to support Kenya’s economic growth and sustainable development. The AfCFTA policy brief summarises the AfCFTA Report.
