Experts attending the meeting to formulate the AfCFTA implementation strategy in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) discussed a range of sectors that could help the country benefit from the agreement. The meeting to discuss the AfCFTA strategy was organized in Kinshasa by the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) through its office for Eastern Africa in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Foreign Trade in DRC. This agreement [AfCFTA] presents a unique opportunity to dismantle this colonial economic model by embarking on Africa’s massive scale industrial development and establishment of regional value chains across the continent”, however, that industrialization is not going to happen overnight as it requires discipline and, dedicated implementation of industrial development strategies decades after decades.
