Happy New Year.

We at International Federation of Consular Chambers for Africa - F**A wish you a fruitful 2020!

H.E Madam Virginie TICHA the F**A President and H.E MR. Seydou SADOU, the Minister of Trade and Private Sector Promotion (Republic of Niger) engage on ACFTA ( African Continental Free Trade Agreement) with the objective to intensify Trade Coordination and reduce transportation costs among the ECOWAS countries.

Transport costs along the corridor are currently high because they are quoted on full return price. ACFTA through the implementation of Single Window and e- Cargo Market place will provide truck availability information, enabling the efficient utilization of truck resources. This will reduce overall transportation costs. ECOWAS Commission
