Public Webinar | Unlocking Africa for Africans

The African Union’s Free Movement Protocol (FMP) is a pioneering initiative aimed at fostering closer ties among African nations by facilitating the free movement of persons, right of residence, and establishment across the continent. This protocol is not just a cornerstone for enhancing intra-Africa travel, but also a significant stride towards economic integration and cultural exchange. By reducing barriers, the FMP paves the way for increased trade, tourism, and a shared sense of community among the diverse nations of Africa.
