The African Continental Free Trade Area has its Secretariat in Ghana's capital

Background

The African Union lists the African Continental Free Trade Area, known as AfCFTA, among its own bodies, with an AfCFTA Secretariat. That Secretariat is hosted in Accra, the capital of Ghana. The arrangement is the African Union's continent-wide free trade project. Hosting it places Ghana at the administrative centre of African trade integration. This sits alongside Ghana's membership of the West African regional community and of the World Trade Organization. For an aspirant, the city that hosts a body is asked as often as the year it was created.
