Making the AfCFTA Work

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) offers Africa an opportunity to trade through a single, continent-wide market for goods and services bringing together over 1.2 Billion people. The AfCFTA has potential to enable Africa to significantly boost intra-Africa trade, improve economies of scale and to establish an integrated market.

SEATINI Uganda is actively engaging in and contributing to shaping the AfCFTA Negotiations and continues to engage relevant Government MDAs, AfCFTA Secretariat, like-minded CSOs, Networks, MSMEs, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), Private Sector and continues to create platforms for various stakeholders to amplify their voices and to effectively participate in the ongoing AfCFTA Negotiations. SEATINI wants to ensure that the perceived opportunities of the AfCFTA become a reality for the MSMEs, Women and Youth bearing in mind environmental sustainability and that the negative impacts of the AfCFTA are mitigated.

Tengo 20 años. Encontré una cafetería escondida detrás de una estantería en Kioto. El menú solo tenía un plato.

Taxes like VAT and excise duty are paid by the final consumer, meaning individuals are taxed according to what they consume, while direct taxes depend on earnings or business income. - Mr. Aloysious Kittengo, Program Coordinator, Financing for Development, SEATINI
