On 7 July 2026 – Africa Integration Day – ECDPM, with researchers from The Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance at the University of Cape Town, launched the AfRi Practice Hub. The platform serves as a go-to hub for understanding regional integration in Africa.
About the hub
The AfRi Practice Hub is a go-to hub for understanding regional integration in Africa and provides a comprehensive overview of Africa’s diverse regional organisations, trade agreements, transport corridors and value chains. It focuses on three key objectives of the African regional integration landscape: cooperation through regional organisations, trade along corridors and industrialisation through value chains.
