Our very own Tsotetsi Makong will be speaking on 14th September at the ALP AfCFTA Private Sector Engagement Series.

Topic: What could the forthcoming AfCFTA Investment Protocol mean to you and your business?

Join us for the second of the ALP Town Hall Series on the AfCFTA Investment Protocol. This town hall is designed to engage the private sector on topical issues related to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and highlight the opportunities for African businesses presented by the agreement.

This series will bring together highly acclaimed industry experts from the public and private sector to delve into the contents of the draft protocol and discuss the current issues posed by the myriad investment-related agreements that have been developed by the eight regional economic communities recognized by the Africa Union, intra-African Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and BITs between African Countries and counterparties outside the continent. This platform will also consider the traditional investor-state dispute resolution system (ISDS) and the seeming reluctance of African participation to participate in reform efforts.
