How To Apply

Study the visions shared by Africa’s political leaders and the nuances and caveats raised by its leading thinkers. Then, pause and dazzle the jury of institutional investors with a 5-page plan that shows why you/your team are best placed to realise the leaders’ visions in the 8 critical issue areas based on Agenda 2063.

Choose your own format for the plan but touch on product/solution, people/team, process/operations, innovation, social impact and financial sustainability.

About AfCFTA

AfCFTA was created by the African Continental Free Trade Agreement among 54 of the 55 African Union nations. The free-trade area is the largest in the world in terms of the number of participating countries since the formation of the World Trade Organization. The secretariat is located in Accra, Ghana.

Once it becomes fully operational, AfCFTA should considerably expand intra-Africa trade whilst helping the continent move up the value chain in multiple industries. Also, it should help achieve the vision of the Agenda 2063 of a united, prosperous, continent relating to equal footing with its peers on the global stage.
