About this event

This was the second in a three-part webinar series exploring how trade architecture shapes Africa’s digital economy, data governance, and AI governance. The first session examined the AfCFTA Digital Trade Protocol. This session widened the lens to the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA); examining its structure, its silence on digital trade, and the broader question of whether the digital rights community needs to become a direct constituency in trade negotiations.
