The AFCTA-AIDA Impact Assessment Portal integrates the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the Accelerated Industrial Development for Africa (AIDA) framework to foster economic transformation across the continent. By reducing tariffs, harmonizing regulations, and boosting industrial capacity, AfCFTA aims to unify African markets, while AIDA focuses on strengthening manufacturing, technology, and resource development. This public dashboard provides accessible data on trade volumes, policy impacts, and industrial progress, enabling governments, businesses, and the public to collaborate effectively. As countries implement AfCFTA measures, AIDA complements these efforts by encouraging innovation, sustainable production, and value chain integration. Through a unified interface, stakeholders can review metrics, compare trends, and identify best practices. The portal’s charts, tables, and highlights reveal areas of success, gaps in data availability, and opportunities for growth. Ultimately, by merging AfCFTA’s trade liberalization with AIDA’s industrial focus, Africa stands poised to increase intra-continental commerce, generate jobs, and reduce dependency on raw exports. This synergy drives inclusive growth, uplifts local communities, and underscores Africa’s capacity to be a global economic force, powered by shared knowledge and collaboration across its diverse regions.
