Rendeavour Partners with AfCFTA for Industrial and Trade Infrastructure

Rendeavour Holding Limited has become the inaugural implementation partner for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), focusing on industrialisation and trade infrastructure. This partnership was announced at Biashara Afrika 2026 in Lomé, Togo, bringing together regional leaders and investors to foster intra-African trade.

Rendeavour will aid the AfCFTA by enhancing Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to promote industrial growth. The company aims to attract private investment in infrastructure, facilitating cross-border commerce. Despite a collective GDP exceeding USD 3.4 trillion, intra-African trade remains low at 14% of total trade.

Stephen Jennings, Rendeavour's CEO, emphasized Africa's growth potential as a secure investment destination. The company's projects in Africa are supported by international investors and span across Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, aiming to create integrated economic zones.
