Team Europe Technical Assistance Facility (EU-TAF): Supporting the AfCFTA and Continental Economic Integration
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), signed by 54 of the 55 African Union member states, is a significant milestone towards establishing a continental single market. It aims to boost intra-African trade, drive structural transformation, and create substantial employment opportunities across the continent. However, achieving these goals requires strengthening institutional capacities to complete negotiations, implement obligations, and foster active cooperation among stakeholders, including the private sector, at continental, regional, and national levels.
The Team Europe Technical Assistance Facility (EU-TAF) aims to support the AfCFTA and broader African economic integration by focusing on the following Outputs:
1. The capacities of the AfCFTA Secretariat to finalize the remaining negotiations and steer the implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement are strengthened
2. The capacities of the AUC and its specialized agencies to advance Continental Economic and Industrial policies complementary to the AfCFTA are strengthened
3. The capacities of targeted RECs to implement AfCFTA related priority reforms and to facilitate cross-REC exchanges are strengthened
4. The capacities of countries’ authorities to negotiate and implement their AfCFTA commitments are strengthened
5. The capacities of private sector organisations to benefit from the AfCFTA are strengthened
6. The integration of the transversal areas (e.g. gender, youth, and climate) in the African continental economic integration process including through the engagement of civil society and/or think tanks organisations having the capacities to lead initiatives, is facilitated
The EU-TAF is funded by the EU, the German Ministry of Development Cooperation (BMZ), Agence Française de Development, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland and Ireland. The EU-TAF is implemented by GIZ, Expertise France, and FIAPP under the guidance of the AfCFTA Secretariat and the AUC.
The EU-TAF is implemented through a joint programming, implementation and monitoring approach. While the three implementing agencies implement in line with their own respective processes and procedures, the programme is jointly managed through the Programme Management Unit (PMU) based at the AfCFTA Secreteriat. Several positions, including the posted M&E Specialist position, work on behalf of the programme as a whole in close collaboration with all three implementing partners, under the direct supervision of the EF Senior Programme Manager and the overall guidance of the PMU Team Leader.
QUALIFICATION REQUIRED & EXPERIENCE
o At least 2 years of work experience in programmes related to economic policy on a regional or continental level
