The third event is the 2nd Annual MoveAfrica Humanitarian Logistics Dialogue focusing on unlocking logistical bottlenecks on Africa’s borders and corridors for free movement of goods and services meant for humanitarian assistance, as well as transport and trade facilitation. The AU-CBN financial guarantees scheme will take place on 28th September 2018; Time: 09:15 – 11:30am; Venue: TBC in New York, USA.
WHO: The side events will be attended by high-level individuals that include; President of Rwanda and AU Chairperson, H.E. Paul Kagame; President of Zambia, H.E. Edgar C. Lungu; President of South Africa, H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, Prime Minister of the kingdom of Lesotho, H.E. Thomas M. Thabane; African Union Commissioner for social affairs, H.E. Mrs Amira El Fadil; NEPAD Agency CEO, H.E. Dr Ibrahim A. Mayaki; Global Fund (GF) Executive Director, Peter Sands; Goodwill Ambassador and popular global musical icon Yvonne Chaka-Chaka; and many other leaders.
WHY: In March 2018, 44 African Heads of State and Government signed the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTA) Agreement to boost regional integration, business ties and free movement of goods and people on the continent. Currently, intra-Africa trade stands at around 10%. AfCTA will contribute to lifting barriers that have hampered trade to boost economic growth, and eventually end poverty and hunger in Africa within the framework of the AU Agenda 2063.
Beyond trade, AfCTA will also make a huge contribution towards addressing the challenges of cross border disease surveillance through increased collaboration and partnerships across African countries. This will contribute to ending a common disease burden on the continent, as well as build resilience and strengthen public health emergency preparedness and risk assessment, especially against disease outbreaks i.e. Ebola.
The Africa We Want! – NEPAD Agency tripartite side events at this year’s UNGA focus on the above core issues to accelerate Africa’s socio-economic development.
