Africa Supply Chain in Action (ASCA) 2025 is a premier event for procurement and supply chain professionals across Africa. This year’s conference will focus on building sustainable regional value chains to drive economic growth and resilience. Key highlights include showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions to enhance supply chain connectivity and foster collaboration, exploring the transformative potential of supply chain and procurement practices across the continent, and promoting local sourcing through the “Made in Africa” initiative, which aims to strengthen connections between local suppliers and buyers.
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a landmark trade agreement aimed at creating a single market for goods and services across Africa, facilitating the movement of people and investments. Launched in 2021, AfCFTA seeks to boost intra-African trade by reducing tariffs and addressing non-tariff barriers, thereby enhancing economic integration and industrialization on the continent. It plays a crucial role in the African Union’s Agenda 2063, which envisions an integrated, prosperous, and peaceful Africa.
