In 2019, EAC continued to pursue policies that enhance trade and investment in the Region. These included negotiations on the Africa Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA); the UK-EAC Brexit trade negotiations, the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), and the EAC-COMESA-SADC Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA). The outcome of the negotiations is to strengthen and streamline EAC trade and investment initiatives and enhance participation of the Region in the global commodity value chains.enOther
