| dc.description | The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement is a powerful programme which promises to boost the livelihoods of African people. However, if gender equality is not a central component of its implementation, the agreement may worsen the gender gap and exacerbate the challenges faced by women producers, processors and traders due to the existing inequalities that disadvantage them. It is vital that the AfCFTA agreement roll-out ensures that trade policies, practices and regulations are gender-responsive and create the conditions for African women and girls to benefit. We must enable women to seize the new opportunities created by the AfCFTA in the agrifood sector and empower them to be economic actors and agents of change. | |
