A. Background
The Alliance for Product Quality
(AfPQ) supports African companies in improving their product quality, enabling them to enhance their competitiveness on the international market. It is a multi-stakeholder partnership between companies, business associations and German Development Cooperation, and is supported by the German Federal Government. Our goal is to improve product quality in Africa so that African
companies can access global value and supply chains. We work hand-in-hand with local companies and institutes to improve the quality infrastructure and quality management skills.
The German Federal Government is providing support to the African Continental Free Trade Area through GIZ. The GIZ Support Programme to the AfCFTA aims to address challenges around institutional and legal frameworks in supporting negotiations on, and implementation of the AfCFTA. In response to the heterogeneity of the AfCFTA State Parties in terms of size, income level and openness to other economies, and the complex nature of the AfCFTA negotiations and implementation, the programme works at continental, regional and national levels. The Kenya component supports trade negotiations and, to a certain extent, drives the
first steps of implementation in the areas of trade in goods; trade in services; digital trade; intellectual property rights; competition; investment, and women and youth.
