Youth on the move, tapping opportunities of AfCFTA across Africa’s borders. Movement across Africa’s borders - crucial for intra-country trade - is a challenge for both people and goods as countries have varying regulations, some prohibitive. Youth Motion Kenya, created the AfCFTA Kazini Caravan, a mobile advocacy initiative to create awareness about the AfCFTA to youth in Kenya and the rest of Africa. AfCFTA Kazini is in the Kiswahili language which translates to ‘AfCFTA at Work’. The AfCFTA now is the largest free trade area in the world bringing together 55 countries, with a population of 1.3 billion people and a combined GDP of approximately US$3.4 million. The AfCFTA will boost intra-African trade by eliminating trade barriers through Protocols on Trade in Goods and Services, Investment, Intellectual Property Rights and Competition Policy.
