AfCFTA support programme to eliminate non-tariff barriers, increase regulatory transparency and promote industrial diversification

Agency

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development

Overview

On 21 March 2018 in Kigali, Rwanda, the vast majority of African Union (AU) member states signed the agreement of the AfCFTA. If all members ratify it, the agreement will bring together 1.2 billion people with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of more than US$ 2 trillion. The evaluation Terms of Reference (ToR)1 outline the background of this evaluation: This evaluation exercise is meant to ensure ownership, result-based orientation, cost-effectiveness, and quality of UNCTAD assistance. By carrying out this evaluation, UNCTAD plans to assess its work, learn lessons, receive feedback, appraisal, and recognition, and mobilize resources by showing the possible attribution of achievements to the programme. The UNCTAD Independent Evaluation Unit, in collaboration with the Division of International Trade and Commodities (DITC)/Trade Analysis Branch, and Division on Investment & Enterprise (DIAE)/Intellectual Property Unit, managed this evaluation.
