Logistics and Supply Chain Finance

Statement of need

African exporters have over the years assumed a limited role in international trade and global supply chains. Related to this, the level of intra-Africa trade remains undesirably low despite the growing opportunities through the opening of markets including through the elimination of trade barriers. The entry into force of the AfCFTA presents an opportunity to African producers to grow their export businesses and indeed be integrated into the continental as well as regional supply chain.

This course aims at providing participants with skills in key aspects of Supply Chain Finance which is potentially critical to facilitating African Exporters to grow their share in global and intra African trade.
