In July 2022, the World Customs Organization (WCO), on a funding from the European Union, launched in Ghana the Programme on the implementation and application of rules of origin for enhanced Intra-African trade, also known as EU-WCO Rules of Origin Africa Programme. This initiative is aimed at supporting the African continent to improve its capacity to deal with rules of origin and ultimately to support the harmonized and well-coordinated implementation and application of the rules of origin under Annex 2 of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and other regional and international commitments. After one year of implementation, the WCO has published its first evaluation report, which shows positive results, with a total of 37 activities that have been implemented in 2022, at continental, regional and national levels, benefitting 14 national customs administrations and 3 Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in the continent.
