Assessing regional integration in Africa ARIA IX: next steps for the African Continental Free Trade Area.

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was the inspiration for the 9th edition of the flagship report Assessing Regional Integration in Africa ARIA IX:  next steps for the African Continental Free Trade Area.  "The report recognizes that it is not enough for the AfCFTA to be merely negotiated, concluded and ratified. It must also change lives, reduce poverty and contribute to economic development."
