Summary

The fifth edition of Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA V), a joint ECA/AUC/AfDB publication, has come at a time of renewed political commitment to accelerate the pace of regional integration in Africa. The overall objective of ARIA V was therefore to contribute analytical insights to shape the debate and the move towards fast-tracking the establishment of a Continental Free Trade Area through the removal of outstanding obstacles to trade including barriers to the free movement of people, investments and factors of production across Africa. An Overview of ARIA V was part of the set of documents presented to Heads of States and Government during their 18th Assembly in January 2012 in Addis Ababa, which focused on the theme of boosting intra-African trade.
