**INTRODUCTION**

The World Customs Organization (WCO) is an independent intergovernmental body, established in 1952 as the Customs Co-operation Council (CCC), whose mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Customs services across the globe. The WCO represents 184 Customs administrations that collectively process approximately 98% of world trade. As the global centre of Customs expertise, the WCO is the only international organization with competence in Customs matters.

As a forum for dialogue and exchange of experiences between national Customs delegates, the WCO offers its Members a range of Conventions and other international instruments, as well as technical assistance and training services provided either directly by the Secretariat, or with its participation. The Secretariat also actively supports its Members in their endeavours to modernize and build capacity within their national Customs administrations.

**OVERVIEW**

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), approved in 2012 by the African Union’s (AU) 18th Ordinary Session of Assembly of Heads of State and Government, is one of the Flagship Projects of Agenda 2063. The Action Plan for Boosting intra-African trade focuses mainly on accelerating intra-African trade and boosting Africa’s trading position in the global market, in particular through the implementation of trade facilitation standards and tools. The AfCFTA entered into force on 30 May 2019 and the Operational Instruments governing trade under the AfCFTA regime were launched in Niamey, Niger in July 2019. Trading under the AfCFTA commenced on the 1st of January 2021.

**PROJECT BACKGROUND**

The Programme is a concrete step taken by the EU and the WCO in consultation with key stakeholders to support African partners in the implementation of the AfCFTA. The main beneficiaries of the programme will be: 1) at continental level, the AfCFTA Secretariat and the African-Union Commission (AUC); 2) at regional level, the African Regional Economic Communities (RECs), 3) at the national level, the African Customs Administrations (CA) and other Government Administrations (OGA), where relevant, and 4) the Private Sector stakeholders involved in origin matters. The main activities of the programme will be:

- Organizational diagnostics, gaps and needs assessments, analysis and review of national policies, and processes;
- Mapping exercises and case studies including on EU Economic Partnership Agreements;
- Assistance in developing standard operating procedures (SOPs), guidelines, etc.;
- Capacity building;
- Support to the development of information and awareness-raising campaigns;
- Thematic seminars, workshops, training and information exchange sessions;

- Development of methodologies on Data sharing methods and tools;
- Train the trainer programmes;
- Support to implement RoO-related flagship initiatives (E-certification, self-certification); and
- Dedicated facility for demand-driven technical assistance.

The Programme will also contribute, in coordination with the WCO Origin Sub-Directorate, to further develop RoO-related e‑learning, IT-tools and publications.

A full time Programme Management Team consisting of a Head of Programme (HoP), a RoO Lead Expert (OLE), a RoO Expert (OE), a Programme Officer (PO) and a Programme Assistant (PA) will be established at the WCO Secretariat in Brussels, Belgium.
