Our Objectives

First: Facilitating African economic integration within a comprehensive and dynamic framework, fostering cooperation with other economic blocs on an equitable basis to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders and contribute to global prosperity.

Second: Advocating for the interests of diverse economic sectors on African, regional, and international stages through the lens of African business leaders. This involves providing a platform for the expression of their views and aspirations, as well as coordinating and evolving their positions on a spectrum of economic issues and policies, reinforcing their pivotal role in advancing and consolidating national economies.

Third: Strengthening the influence of member chambers and their federations as the representatives of business and private sector entities within their respective countries. This encompasses bolstering their intellectual, administrative, technical, and informational capacities to the fullest extent. Furthermore, it entails aligning and advancing their perspectives at regional and international economic forums, while also supporting targeted initiatives, projects, and economic organizations in harmony with the goals of the Africa Chambers of Commerce.

Fourth: Elevating the efficiency and impact of programs, plans, and development initiatives across African countries. This is achieved by generating ample employment opportunities and embracing the tenets of a market economy rooted in competition freedom. This approach contributes to unleashing production capacities, nurturing creative capabilities, and harnessing technological advancements when opening markets and attracting investments.

Fifth: Pioneering the establishment and evolution of an integrated, collaborative partnership among African countries. This includes ensuring the equitable participation of all societal groups and sectors in the development efforts within each country. The pursuit of such objectives stems from the positive and direct impact on peace, prosperity, and stability, both within these countries and on a global scale.
