Representatives from the AfCFTA Secretariat, TradeMark East Africa (TMEA) and Borderless Alliance, in coordination with the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoTI) of Ghana, conducts a joint technical visit to the Aflao border to engage with the key agencies operating at the border.
The purpose of the visit is to discuss their priority needs towards enhancing the free movement of goods and people across the Abidan-Lagos corridor, with an emphasis on Ghana’s borders.
The visit followed an earlier mission in Togo, where the AfCFTA Secretariat organized a forum to assess the condition of the Abidjan-Lagos corridor.
The technical visit includes an interactive dialogue with representatives from key border agencies, led by Ghana Revenue Authority and Ghana Immigration Services and includes other agencies such as the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA).
Other trade-related state agencies that are engaged by the AfCFTA team are the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Department (PPRSD), Veterinary Service Directorate (VSD) and Ghana Shippers Authority (GSA), the latter doubling as host institution of Borderless Alliance in Ghana.
