Intra-African trade, corridors and market access
The AfCFTA Trade to Table Corridor Seminar is a focused one-day
programme on how goods move under the African Continental Free Trade
Area. Using a “trade to table” approach, it follows products from the point
of origin, across borders and through logistics networks to the end
market.
The seminar brings together traders, logistics operators, officials and
policy practitioners to examine where corridors work, where they break
down, and what each group can do to move goods faster, cheaper and
more reliably
By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:
| Session | Focus | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Session 1 | The AfCFTA in practice | Implementation status, tariff schedules, rules of origin and what is changing for traders |
| Session 2 | From origin to table | Corridor mapping: following one product from producer to end market |
| Session 3 | Border processes and trade facilitation | Documentation, one-stop border posts, customs digitalisation and compliance |
| Session 4 | Logistics coordination | Transport, warehousing and cold chain; cost and time drivers along the corridor |
| Session 5 | Market access | Standards, certification, buyers and distribution channels |
| Session 6 | Corridor clinic | Participants work through their own cases with the panel; agreed action points |
The closing corridor clinic gives participants practical guidance on their own trade and logistics challenges from the expert panel.
Participants who want continued support can be referred to AISCR’s mentoring programme or the Supplier Development Accelerator.
Organisations can sponsor a seminar, either shared with up to three partners or as the exclusive sponsor.
