AFRICAN REGULATORY AGENCIES AND STANDARDS ADMINISTRATORS FORUM

Rationale

Africa’s commitment to regional integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), combined with the rapid digitalisation of public governance systems, has underscored the need for agile, forward-looking regulators. Intra-African trade reached $192.2 billion in 2023, representing a 3.2% increase from the previous year. The UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) projects a 45% rise in intra-African exports by 2045, potentially adding $275.7 billion to the continent’s trade value. The African Trade Report 2023 also reported an 18.6% increase in intra-African trade during 2022, attributed to AfCFTA-driven trade liberalisation. These developments signal an urgent need for robust regulatory institutions capable of facilitating seamless trade, ensuring standards compliance, and adapting to global economic shifts.

Major Highlight of the Forum

Participation in the flagship annual Africa Summit London 2025

As the highpoint of this training session, all participants will receive exclusive access to the ALM Africa Summit 2025 (9–10 July 2025), chaired by H.E. Jakaya Kikwete, former President of Tanzania and Chairman of the African Leadership Magazine Global Advisory Board. The Summit will convene over 400 high-level stakeholders, including policymakers, business leaders, civil society actors, and development partners from Africa, the UK, and beyond. Participants will engage in transformative discussions, showcase best practices, and forge strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating Africa’s sustainable development.
