The AfCFTA Secretariat in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Tunisia has launched a five-day Capacity Building and Technical Support workshop to advance the domestication of the AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade. Adopted by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union in February 2024, the Protocol on Digital Trade, together with its eight Annexes endorsed in February 2025, addresses critical areas such as market access for digital products, trade facilitation, data governance, digital inclusion, and emerging technologies. The initiative also goes a long way to strengthen national capacity and thus, align Tunisia’s legal framework with continental digital trade standards towards continued advancements in its digital ecosystem. Tunisias’s dynamic ecosystem, driven by skilled talent, innovative start-ups, robust infrastructure, and strong institutions positions her as a strategic player in the continental rollout of the digital trade. “This workshop represents a valuable technical opportunity, providing a high-level strategic platform to objectively assess the degree of alignment between our national regulatory framework on digital trade and the AfCFTA Protocol on Digital Trade and its Annexes, a key component of Tunisia’s participation in the AfCFTA.”
