Jambo Africa will host the BIASHARA Services & Products Africa Conference & Exhibition (BiSPA) 2020 v<\/strong>irtual summit this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The event will take place online due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), set by 54 African countries, is the biggest Free trade zone in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The AfCFTA is set to create a large free economic platform that will bring together the various economic regions and countries of Africa. AfCTFA is meant to result in spin-offs like reduction in poverty, growing African countries’ economic muscle with a combined GDP of more than US$3.4 trillion, intra-African trade, variety in products and services sourced from fellow African peoples, competition policies, intellectual property rights and general investment facilitation.<\/p>\n
