AfCFTA private sector database platform now available on the AfCFTA website

The AfCFTA private sector database is a tool developed by the AfCFTA Secretariat to facilitate the matchmaking between African businesses. It aims at promoting business connections, partnerships, and collaborations among African economic operators that are interested to develop partnerships or collaboration opportunities with other commercial entities in the continent. More precisely, the platform collects data on enterprises involved or willing to engage in intra-Africa trade transactions or in other AfCFTA-related activities (ex. investments, skills training or provision of logistics services), by sharing such data with potential business partners who voluntary register on the platform.

The purpose of the database is to help African companies to create new connections, explore new markets and promote collaboration, so to unlock new opportunities across the continent. Companies that register must indicate the kind of opportunities they are interested to develop and the regions/countries in Africa where they are interested to develop their business. The registration in the database is completely free of charge.
