The Role of the AfCFTA in Promoting a Resilient Recovery in Africa

This report examines how the African Union's Green Recovery Action Plan (GRAP) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) can jointly foster resilient and sustainable economic recoveries in six specific African nations.

• The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is expected to transform Africa's trade and production landscape, although climate and environmental factors have not been a primary focus of its development.
• The African Union's Green Recovery Action Plan (GRAP) outlines cooperation priorities for the next five years to facilitate a green and resilient economic recovery. This plan is part of Agenda 2063, which utilizes the AfCFTA as its primary tool to increase investment and trade within the continent.
• The report analyzes the combined application of the GRAP and AfCFTA to support sustainable and resilient recoveries in Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Africa.
