The AfCFTA will foster economic integration among African states and hopefully will boost the Intra Africa trade by increasing the economic viability of industrialization of the continent and accelerating structural transformation with appropriate positive effects on production & product diversification

Structural transformation can create prosperity for Africa by shifting financial, natural and human resources from low productive aggregate or resource-based sectors to more productive industrial and service-based sectors.

To ensure industrial development, industrial policies need to work in tandem with international policies as well all the sectoral policies to ensure the inclusivity of the effort done for industrial development and therefore working on strengthening national quality infrastructure
