Addis Ababa, 8 April 2021, ECA – The African Trade Policy Centre (ATPC), a unit of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), is preparing the first ever Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to guide on how environmental considerations can be effectively incorporated into the agreement. The AfCFTA was formed by 54 African countries in 2019 to boost intra-African trade and create the world’s largest trading bloc since the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The SEA will identify how to include environmental considerations into the implementation of the AfCFTA and into the so-called phase II negotiations on investment, competition policy and intellectual property rights, and phase III negotiations on e-commerce due to start soon. The institutional capacities needed at continental, regional and national levels to address environmental issues will be determined under the assessment.
