Synopsis (short abstract) The opportunities provided by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) should be capitalized upon, for the benefit of all. In order to identify solutions to address the challenges posed by the roll out of the AfCFTA, a dialogue between the key players in the Africa trade environment and women’s traders is necessary. In this context, FAO has partnered with the African Women Agribusiness Network – Afrika (AWAN AFRIKA) and the International Trade Center (ITC) to promote the exchange of lessons learned among countries on gender-sensitive trade policies and economic measures that have worked for the benefit of both women and men.

    Seizing the opportunities of the African Continental Free Trade Area for the economic empowerment of women in agriculture 2021
    Also available in:
    The links between gender, trade, agriculture, and food security are inherently complex and difficult to generalize. It is therefore vital that the operationalization of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement ensures that future trade practices and regulations promote gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in the African continent, especially in supporting women to seize the new opportunities created by the AfCFTA in agriculture.
