Mauritius readies to validate AfCFTA National Response Strategy

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), is organising a national workshop to validate the Report on the AfCFTA National Response Strategy on 21 March 2022.

The report, entitled “the Mauritian Strategy to leverage the opportunities in the AfCFTA”, has been prepared with the technical assistance from UNECA. It identifies key areas where  Mauritius could develop strategies to take advantage  of the AfCFTA.

It further sets out an action plan with respect to key intervention areas required at the national level to enhance economic diversification in Mauritius and expand trade in both goods and services with other African countries.

The workshop will bring together a maximum of 50 participants from different Ministries, private sector representatives and the Economic Development Board.
