Origin schedules across sectors, the expansion of digital trade and e-certificate infrastructure, and upgrades to the AfCFTA e-Tariff Book will all shape operational realities. Broader use of regional payment systems could reduce
dollar dependence and support smoother supplier and benefits payments, while inclusion initiatives aimed at youth and women in trade may push large employers to demonstrate progress in procurement and workforce development.
AfCFTA’s next phase is not a single policy change but a programme that touches people, process, and technology. The practical route forward is clear: keep HR, payroll, and data practices aligned with national law, connect to AfCFTA tools as they come online, and work with partners who combine regional reach with local knowledge. Done right, compliance does more than protect; it helps organisations build steady, sustainable growth.
