Short description: Proposed trade agreement
The Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) is a proposed African free trade agreement between the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC).[1]
On June 10, 2015 the deal was signed in Egypt[2] by the countries shown below (pending ratification by national parliaments).
On June 15, 2015 at the 25th African Union Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa , negotiations were launched to create an African Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) by 2017 with, it was hoped, all 54 African Union states as members of the free trade area.[3]
