CAMEROON NATIONAL
SHIPPERS' COUNCIL

The purpose of the meeting is to present the opportunities offered by the Intra-African market and to define strategies to facilitate the fluidity of cargo transport and the free movement of goods between UASC member states.

 

Since the 1st of January 2021, African countries officially started trading under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which represents a market of 1.2 billion consumers and a combined GDP of about US$3 trillion for the 54 member states of the African Union.

 

It is in this context that the city of Douala, Cameroon's economic capital, will host a sub-regional workshop of experts from the Union of African Shippers' Councils (UASC) from 10 to 12 August 2022. The latter is a specialized body of the Maritime Organization of West and Central Africa (MOWCA) which brings together national shippers' councils and similar bodies of States of these two sub-regions.

 

The Douala meeting themed "the role of shippers' councils in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement", seeks to present the opportunities of the intra-African market and to define strategies to facilitate the fluidity of cargo transport and the free movement of goods between UASC member states.
