Abstract
The recent Malabo Declaration adopted at the African Union (AU) includes an ambitious and promising recommitment “to fast-track the establishment of the continental free trade area (CFTA), and the action plan for boosting intra-African Trade (BIAT)” (AU 2014). The intended aim is to triple intra-African trade by encouraging transparent and regulated policies that strengthen existing trade partnerships, foster long-term investment, and ensure continental food security.
