This publication presents an in-depth examination of trade facilitation in Africa, offering practical insights into the importance of reducing trade barriers and improving customs procedures to boost intra-African trade and integration.

The Africa Capacity Report (ACR) and its proposed indicators provide the necessary inputs to inform decisions on capacity-building support. For most countries, the institutional environment is highly enabling, and implementation processes are in place. However, development outcomes are not materialising, and even less so the outcomes related to capacity development.

This study explores the potential of factoring as a financing tool for SMEs, enabling them to improve their cash flow, access financing, and facilitate greater participation in regional trade.

This report examines the capacity of African countries to respond to health emergencies, offering policy recommendations to strengthen health infrastructure and preparedness for future pandemics.
