The entering into force of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) has created the world's largest trade bloc by unifying the 55 countries of Africa under a single market governed by streamlined trade policies and agreements. The AfCFTA is therefore regarded as the single most important trade related policy for my generation of Africans.

It is an honor to present to you "The AfCFTA Roundtable" powered by my company Nazaru LLC. The AfCFTA Roundtable was conceived to help educate, galvanize and sensitize Africans, Foreign Investor and the Diaspora in participating and actualizing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement. The AfCFTA Roundtable is scheduled to be held as a quarterly engagement where we bring the leading figures from around the world driving the implementation and adoption of this trade policy. For the first ever edition taking place Tuesday - October 6th, 2020, I invite you to join myself and the following high profile speakers for a great discussion on the AfCFTA:

  • Dr. Albert Zeufack, Chief Economist on Africa at the World Bank READ HIS PROFILE
  • Jean Bertrand Azapmo - Principal Adviser to the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Trade and Industry, Department of Trade and Industry - African Union Commission READ HIS PROFILE
  • Komi Tsowou, Economist at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) READ HIS PROFILE
  • Prof. Landry Signé - Sr. Director & Full Professor at Thunderbird & Sr. Fellow at Brookings Institution READ HIS PROFILE
  • Shakira Motan- Trade Commissioner, South African Consulate - Chicago READ HER PROFILE

Event Start Time: 9am CST - Chicago | 10am Eastern Time | Addis Ababa – 5pm | South Africa – 4pm | Cairo – 4pm | Nairobi – 5pm | South Africa – 4pm | Nigeria – 3pm | Morocco - 3 pm | Ghana - 2 pm | London – 3pm | Zimbabwe – 4pm

Each of our speakers was tasked with helping to address the following questions in their individual presentations:

  • Dr. Albert Zeufack: Why is the AfCFTA important? What economic potential does it hold for Africa? How can it be used to accelerate economic transformation?
  • Jean Bertrand Azapmo: What is the current state of the AfCFTA implementation? What is the timeline of activities? What should we watch out for over the next 2 years?
  • Komi Tsowou: What are the technical aspects of the AfCFTA Agreement that Africans, Investors and the Diaspora should know about? What tangible opportunities exists for all? What are the best approaches to understanding how to utilize the AfCFTA?
  • Prof. Landry Signe: How can foreign entities engage with the AFCFTA? What is the future of foreign policies with Africa under the AfCFTA? How would Africa’s global position be different under the AfCFTA?
  • Shakira Motan: How is South Africa positioning itself to leverage the AfCFTA to drive regional growth? Any specific policies or teams tasked with driving AfCFTA in South Africa? Is South Africa ready for AfCFTA actualization?

This happens to be the reality because I am a custodian of a large knowledge base - the information or data I share is largely driven by the expertise I have in driving business, trade and investments. My current perspective is heavily shaped from not only working as a technologist, strategist and futurist at the world's largest company; Walmart, but also the fact that I have had the honor of hosting over 100 speakers in Government and Business from around the world. i.e. from World Bank Chief Economist on Africa, to Rwanda's Largest Private Investor and Presidential Adviser, to African Union leaders, U.S. Government Agencies, Trade Experts, Policy Makers, Diaspora leaders, Consultants and various sectors Advisers, Technologist and Innovators, Youth and Women's Empowerment.
