Committee Reports That Reach Decision-Makers

Our Purpose
Make in Africa Committee Reports

Make in Africa expert committees turn member knowledge into position papers and committee reports that governments, the AfCFTA Secretariat and partners can act on. Reports are published here as they are completed.

Our Process
From Question to Report

Each committee works on one field, such as processing, energy, health or trade. Members choose the topics that matter most to African makers, draft together, review each other’s work and agree a final text. The aim is advice that is specific, honest and usable.

How a Committee Report Is Made

Choosing the Topics

Committees start with real obstacles that members face, from tariff escalation on processed goods to weak standards recognition between countries. Topics are agreed with the movement's priorities in mind.

  • Member evidence: Problems are raised by makers, processors and suppliers in the field.
  • Clear questions: Each report asks what Africa should do and what partners should do.

Drafting and Review

Members draft in working groups and test their claims against evidence. Drafts are reviewed by other members before anything is finalised, and no claim is made that cannot be supported.

  • Working groups: Members from business, government and civil society write together.
  • Peer review: Drafts are challenged and corrected by fellow members.

Reaching Decision-Makers

Finished reports are shared with African governments, regional bodies, the AfCFTA Secretariat and partner countries, and used to prepare meetings and the Summit agenda.

  • African Governments: Practical proposals on policy, standards and trade rules.
  • Partners: Clear asks on finance, technology and market access on fair terms.

Keeping Score

Make in Africa tracks what is proposed and what is delivered, by African governments and by partners alike, and publishes the results.

  • Follow-up: Each report names the actions it expects and who should take them.
  • Accountability: Progress is reviewed openly, and gaps are stated plainly.

Reports Published Here As Completed

Committee reports are added to this page as they are finished. Until then, members can take part in the committees that are drafting them.
