Addis Ababa — The 2023 African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Business Forum is currently taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, South Africa under the theme, 'Acceleration of Implementation of the AfCFTA'. Convened by the AfCFTA Secretariat under the patronage of President Cyril Ramaphosa, the conference is scheduled to take place from 16 - 18 April 2023. He said "creating an integrated One African Market hinges upon effective private sector participation in the implementation of the AfCFTA. It is therefore critical that Africa's private sector, as one of the key drivers, takes a keen and active interest, supports and fully participates in AfCFTA's programmes". The AfCFTA Business Forum is aimed at giving momentum and accelerating the implementation of the AfCFTA.
