The Trade Union Guide to the AfCFTA Protocol on Trade in Services provides an overview of the protocol, outlining key challenges and opportunities to strengthen advocacy on a decent work agenda. The guide explores the role of the services sector in Africa’s economy and examines barriers like Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). It breaks down the protocol’s key rules, including the Most-Favoured-Nation Clause and special and differential treatment for Least Developed Countries. Crucially, the guide recommends possible trade union responses to the Protocol and how to engage with the AfCFTA for workers’ benefit.
