Africa's digital trade and trade in services landscape has witnessed significant growth in recent years.
Indeed, digital trade is transforming the continent's economic landscape, creating new opportunities for real economic growth, productive job creation, and poverty reduction.
This important shift has occurred as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement and its Protocols have begun to play a crucial role in increasing intra-African trade, driving economic growth and development across the continent.
In particular, the AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade, the first of its kind in the world, and the Protocol on Trade in Services are critical game-changers at this pivotal moment, an inflection point in the continent's journey.
