Research on awareness, knowledge and challenges of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) among African workers provides insights into workers’ perceptions of the AfCFTA by addressing the following questions:
1. How informed are workers about AfCFTA and its effects on their livelihoods?
2. What do workers think about the potential benefits and challenges of AfCFTA, and do they have any specific concerns or reservations?
3. Do workers view AfCFTA as relevant to their daily lives, and do they feel empowered to engage in discussions and activities on the Agreement?
By focusing on workers, this research enriches our understanding of AfCFTA’s potential and the crucial areas for achieving inclusive and sustainable economic development. It recommends actions trade unions can take to engage workers in decent work campaigns under the African Continental Free Trade Area.
