"AfCFTA's success is our success. If it works, it will boost significantly trade and investments, provide jobs and increase prosperity across the continent, like never before. But, in order for it to work and wrk for us, the workings of the AfCFTA must be seen and felt from the onset to be for the people of Africa. For our collective ownership and shared benefit, it must be owned by businesses in Africa" - Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, founder and chairman of the Africa Prosperity Network.
"It is really an honour for us to be part of this dialogue because we have an opportunity as Africans [to present] a positive narrative about the challenges that we confront. Indeed, I believe that Africa's challenges are Africa's opportunities" - H.E. Wamkele Mene, AfCFTA Secretary General.
