The 5th edition Prosperity Africa Small Business Exporters Conference will take place in Botswana from Tuesday 17 May to Thursday 19 May 2022, under the theme “Benefiting from African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).” This year’s edition is organised by the Pan African Chamber of Commerce and industry (PACCI), the Association of SADC Chambers (ASCCI) and Business Botswana.

The seminar aims at agreeing on measures to be taken to maximize potentials of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to increase export activities. An agreement would also be reached on the suitability of policies on investment, intellectual property rights, competition policy, and dispute settlement. The growth of SMEs through inclusive market and value chain development would equally be promoted. Moreover, SMEs would be introduced to the pan-African payments and settlements system (AFREXIMBANK); AfCFTA Country Business Index (UNECA/ATPC), Gender Equality Seal Program (UNDP), and the African trade observatory (AUC and ITC).
