Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)
Compliance Passport
Making Cross-Border Trade Simple, Predictable, and Fair
The African Continental Free Trade Area promises to create the world's largest single market—uniting 1.4 billion people across 54 countries. Yet realizing that vision requires more than signed agreements. It needs practical systems that make cross-border trade actually work.
Today, businesses—especially small and medium enterprises—face a patchwork of national regulations governing trade, taxation, and investment. Comparing requirements across jurisdictions is time-consuming, costly, and often inaccessible.
Yamalé Alliance is building the solution: the AfCFTA Compliance Passport.
