WHAT WE DO

For the period 2022-2025, PACCI will focus on projects that advance intra-African trade, namely the implementation of the AfCFTA, job creation, investment, and economic growth priorities of African countries.

PACCI will focus on advancing policies that promote a welcoming business environment and job creation. It will support and elevate its existing efforts by identifying current business environment strengths and opportunities, gaining and sharing access to business information held by both public and private bodies.

PACCI supports private and public initiatives, programs, and legislation helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Focus will also be provided to increase greater awareness of the need to address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, including gender diversity and equity.

PACCI plans to deliver real-time connectivity to every chamber of commerce in Africa where businesses, consultants, and media professionals can engage with each other and undertake digital trade to boost Intra-Africa trade.

NEW PUBLICATION: Impact of Ukraine war on commodities and Africa

The Russia – Ukraine war is still raging. At this stage it is too soon to measure the war’s full impact on Africa, it is clear that the repercussions will be multidimensional. For now, African countries that are heavily dependent on food and energy imports from Russia are particularly vulnerable to economic shocks as a result of the crisis. Additionally, rising fertilizer costs further compound these increasing food prices.

According to the U.N., Russia is the highest exporter of nitrogen fertilizer and the second-highest exporter of phosphorous and potassium fertilizer globally.

African countries that produce fuel and gas such as Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, and Tanzania should be benefiting from the resulting increase of prices.

Impact of COVID-19 on Businesses in Africa

To assess the impact of Covid-19 on the state of business and industry, PACCI asked leaders of chambers of commerce and industry associations to complete a survey to help understand the impact of the ongoing global pandemic on business. This survey, which took place from 28 April 2020 to 12 May 2020, reflects the view of 112 presidents and senior officials of chambers of commerce and industry (City/Regional and national chambers), and Business Membership Associations, out of which 21 were women business leaders. This is the first edition of the survey that will be a quarterly tracking poll on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on businesses for the duration of this pandemic, so that we can track the impacts over time.
