Introduction to Africa’s Evolving Trade & Transportation Infrastructure

Africa currently has over a
hundred port facilities essential
to support trade relations between
the continent and the world.
Objectives and Expectations of Regulatory Compliance
4
In Africa’s evolving global trade and
transportation environment, government and
industry leaders must be aware of and
responsive to the following global concerns:
• Risk mitigation in the face of credible
terrorist, criminal & cyber threats;
• Regulatory compliance and the risk of
negative operational, financial, and
reputational impacts;
• Legal liability and tort exposure in the event
of an incident;
• Trading partner expectations of mandated
security due diligence programs are in place
and operating effectively.

Trade & Transportation West Africa Trade Facilitation (TFWA)
Women play a minimal role in trade and transportation;
the continents informal sector accounts for 85 percent of
the economic activity of the continent; women account
for near 90 percent of the labor force of the informal
sector.

Engineering & Design Many Universities on the continent
There is a significant engineering skills gap. In 2017,
Kenya had an estimated 2,100 certified engineers, while
there is a need for an estimated 6,000 engineers needed
to serve the growing population of 45M

Banking & FinanceNetwork of banking institutions across
the continent
The increase of cyber security attacks have seen African
banks as primary targets. In 2016, the major hack that
happened in Liberia, let to the half of the country cut off
from bank transactions.

Insurance CompaniesThe increase in cyber security attacks across the
continent, comes amid an increase in professionals
working from home due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
Employees are not properly trained to recognize
phishing and other cyber security threats sent to their
emails.

Opportunities for Partnerships
• Partnership with USAID via the West Africa Trade Facilitation (TFWA)
• WCAPS can work directly with the International Maritime Organization and develop a fellowship for women in Africa via our Ghana and Nigeria chapters, and the African Continent Working Group
• Work with the African Union to develop a network across the continent to forge strategic training partnerships with sub-regional organizations such as: the AMU, ECOWAS, IGAD, ECAS, SADC, EAC, COMESA, and CEN-SAD
