Taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the AfCFTA to grow trade in wild meat will be greatly facilitated by identifying and addressing non-tariff barriers (NTBs) that restrict the intra-African wild meat trade. This report evaluates aspects of the AfCFTA NTB Reporting, Monitoring and Elimination Mechanism and in particular and considers its appropriateness as a forum of dispute resolution for the barriers identified within the scope of this research.
