The Pan African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PACCI) is sharing its latest issue of Policy Pointer, “Chambers Are Not ‘Overhead’; They Are Infrastructure,” highlighting the critical role of chambers and business associations in enabling effective AfCFTA implementation and connecting SMEs to cross-border trade opportunities.

In addition, PACCI is conducting a short survey to ensure the voice of chambers and business associations is clearly reflected in AfCFTA implementation, capturing key barriers, informing policy recommendations, and strengthening collective private sector advocacy.

Africa’s industrialization agenda cannot move forward without a strong, coordinated private sector.
At the 39th African Union Summit, leaders from government, business, and global institutions will convene to address how technology transfer, South–South cooperation, and enabling frameworks can accelerate Agenda 2063.

The Pan-African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PACCI) will participate in a high-level dialogue organized by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), in collaboration with the African Union Commission and AfroChampions. Held on the margins of the Summit, the discussion focuses on practical pathways for industrial transformation and the role of the private sector in driving sustainable growth.

A key highlight of the program is the Inaugural African Business Leaders Group (ABLG) Roundtable, which will bring together senior policymakers and global corporate partners to discuss “Empowering the African Private Sector to Meet Africa’s Industrialization Imperative.” The session will examine the institutional and policy conditions required for African businesses to scale, compete, and lead industrial development.

AGOA at a Crossroad. What now for African trade?

With the expiry of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) in September 2025, African exporters face higher tariffs, growing uncertainty, and intensified global competition. Our latest Policy Pointer unpacks what AGOA delivered, where it fell short, and the strategic priorities African Chambers of Commerce must now champion from competitiveness and diversification to AfCFTA-aligned regional value chains.

Read the full Policy Pointer via the link below and join the conversation on shaping a more predictable and resilient future for Africa–U.S. trade.

L'AGOA à la croisée des chemins. Quel avenir pour le commerce africain ?

Avec l'expiration de l'African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) en septembre 2025, les exportateurs africains sont confrontés à des droits de douane plus élevés, à une incertitude croissante et à une concurrence mondiale intensifiée. Notre dernier Policy Pointer analyse les résultats obtenus par l'AGOA, ses lacunes et les priorités stratégiques que les chambres de commerce africaines doivent désormais défendre, de la compétitivité et la diversification aux chaînes de valeur régionales alignées sur la ZLECA.

Lisez l'intégralité du Policy Pointer via le lien ci-dessous et participez à la conversation sur la manière de façonner un avenir plus prévisible et plus résilient pour le commerce entre l'Afrique et les États-Unis.

AI is no longer a technical conversation, it’s a leadership responsibility.

The AI-Enabled Executive is designed specifically for senior decision-makers who need to understand how AI impacts strategy, risk, and long-term business value, not how to code.

- Built for C-Suite executives and senior leaders
- Focused on real business decisions, not theory
- Hands-on simulations, executive debates, and real case challenges
- Small, exclusive cohort for meaningful peer exchange

This is not an AI course for technologists.
It’s an AI immersion for leaders who shape direction, investments, and governance.

L'IA n'est plus un sujet technique, c'est une responsabilité qui incombe aux dirigeants.

Le programme « AI-Enabled Executive » est spécialement conçu pour les décideurs de haut niveau qui ont besoin de comprendre l'impact de l'IA sur la stratégie, les risques et la valeur commerciale à long terme, et non pas d'apprendre à coder.

- Conçu pour les cadres supérieurs et les dirigeants
- Axé sur les décisions commerciales réelles, et non sur la théorie
- Simulations pratiques, débats entre cadres supérieurs et défis basés sur des cas réels
- Petit groupe exclusif pour des échanges constructifs entre pairs

Il ne s'agit pas d'un cours sur l'IA destiné aux technologues.
Il s'agit d'une immersion dans l'IA pour les dirigeants qui définissent l'orientation, les investissements et la gouvernance.
