Mr. Michael Larbi-Amoah,
Assistant Compliance Manager, Ghana Free Zones Authority.
“The training on Non-Tariff Measures and Trade Facilitation by Africa Trade Academy has been impactful. It has enhanced my knowledge and capacity to better support free zones companies in Ghana.”
Desalegn Wondimu,
Rules of Origin Study and Analysis Team Coordinator, Negotiator of Ethiopia Rules of Origin, Ethiopian Customs Commission and AfCFTA Secretariat.
“The training on AfCFTA Rules of Origin for the Ethiopian Customs was very insightful and the approach was explicitly interesting. It brought the customs officers up to speed with developments on continental trade and also provided practical implications of AfCFTA in the role of Customs going forward.”
Lawrence Masakatira,
Malawi Customs Mzuzu, Malawi
"The facilitators allowed participants to participate in the discussions and this allowed different views to be shared amongst officers. This has been so helpful and has enlightened me as an officer on the rules of origin of AfCFTA. I’ll be serving as an advocate of the AfCFTA to promote trade between Malawi and other African countries.”
