The AfCFTA connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined gross domestic product valued at $3.4 trillion – representing a connected Africa. Africa needs long-term thinking and greater cooperation – and this is precisely what the AfCTFA represents. Across the world, countries are questioning trade agreements and economic integration. While the world turns in one direction, the African Union is moving in the other by deepening ties across the continent. At the same time, we cannot lose sight of significant challenges of AfCFTA including implementation, equity and infrastructure. Beyond trade, the pact also addresses the movement of people and labour, trade in services, investment, intellectual property rights and competition policy. When African countries trade with themselves they exchange more manufactured and processed goods, have more knowledge transfer, and create more value. Where does local manufacturing fit into the AfCFTA agreement?

Commission RH - Les secteurs qui recrutent en Afrique et les nouveaux outils des recruteurs
Date: 4 July 15:00-16:30
Online
Ces derniers mois, à la suite d’une période de crises successives ayant touché le continent africain plus ou moins directement, et plus ou moins durement, le recrutement de cadres a connu une période particulièrement faste. Ce dynamisme de recrutement est cependant nuancé selon les secteurs, et il est loin d’être à l’abri de futurs aléas.
La Commission RH du CIAN a décidé de réunir trois experts, intervenant aussi bien dans la chasse de têtes que dans l’intérim en Afrique, afin de présenter les industries les plus proactives en matière d’embauche sur le continent.
Commission Digital - La numérisation des moyens de paiement en Afrique
Date: 1 July 2022, 09:30-11:00 (CEST)
Online
L’inclusion financière est nécessaire à l’éradication de la pauvreté, au développement des marchés et de la consommation en Afrique.
Pour faire face à ces enjeux, les secteurs bancaires africains se modernisent, portés notamment par l’impulsion des banques centrales, et les canaux digitaux de l’inclusion financière prennent de l’ampleur.
La transformation des secteurs bancaires, et l’évolution des établissements de paiement, y compris des établissement de paiement mobile, illustrent tout particulièrement cette dynamique à travers le continent. La révolution des moyens de paiement est donc lancée.
Au cours de cette commission, nous aborderons les enjeux et perspectives de l’inclusion financière en lien avec le phénomène de numérisation qui traverse l’Afrique.
