AfCFTA Source Guide
This guide lists the types of public and institutional sources used to frame the AfCFTA Implementation Watch. It is not a substitute for legal, customs, tax, or investment advice.
How sources are used
Sources are used to identify implementation status, trade friction, rules, standards, payment readiness, and open questions. When a public source does not answer a product-level question, the question remains open.
Reader standard
Readers should look for dates, country applicability, product scope, institution named, and whether a statement is official guidance or analysis.
