At Shona EPZ, a garment factory in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, the future is uncertain for its workers as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) is set to expire on Tuesday. The fate of thousands of workers, like Joan Wambui, a 29-year-old who works at Shona EPZ, is tied to Agoa’s future. The Impact on the African EconomyThe uncertainty over Agoa’s future has already had an impact on factories like Shona EPZ. The program has been credited with creating jobs, boosting industries, and giving African economies a stronger foothold in global trade. For African nations, this uncertainty is not just a trade issue but a matter of economic and social stability.
