NTBs

At the core of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a commitment to dismantle Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) that hinder the flow of trade across our continent. Recognizing the critical role these barriers play in impeding economic growth, the AfCFTA has introduced a powerful digital tool – the Online NTB Reporting Mechanism. This innovative platform is specifically designed to identify, report, and eliminate the regulatory and procedural obstacles that have long challenged traders. By addressing these NTBs head-on, the AfCFTA is not just facilitating smoother trade but is actively fueling the economic engine of the entire African continent.
