According to the African Union, Intra-African trade currently stands at about 13%, significantly lower compared to the 60% intra-regional trade achieved by Europe, 40% by North America, and 30% by ASEAN.
Even when considering Africa’s unreported informal cross-border trade, the overall level of intra-African trade is not expected to exceed 20%, still falling behind other major regions worldwide.
We are on a mission to increase intra-African trade by supporting the creative economy.
The second phase of this mission is to collaborate and share a unified, nuanced creative vision,
with the rest of the world.
The AYA Edit is a collection of musings and resources aimed at exploring that vision.
