Africa Trade competitiveness and Market access The intra Africa trade has remained very low over the years notwithstanding the effort consented to boost it. Trade competitiveness has been impeded by non-tariff barriers (NTBs), including Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) and sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures, stemming in particular from the lack of standards harmonization and from the inefficient quality infrastructure. Within different Regional Economic Communities, many African countries face challenges of variations in standards and standards implementation. These divergences make formal cross-border trade contentious and expensive.The action will have two main pillars. First, the programme will help the African countries to benefit from trade opportunities by being able to conform with standards and technical regulations, which requires establishing efficient testing, certification and accreditation mechanisms that conform to the requirements of the SPS and TBT Agreements and enjoy international recognition. Second, in order to maximise SMEs export potential and support them to enter new markets, the action will also address other market access constraints or enablers: enhance value addition and export capacities through marketing, labelling, branding strategies, technology transfer and processing for export, business promotion through market linkages, capacitate trade and investment support institutions. Support will be provided both at institutional and policy level (looking at the existing agreements that set the regulatory framework in Africa on this matters - AfCFTA, RECs regulations, national regulations and bilateral agreements with the EU), as well as at private sector level, with a primary focus on selected key export-oriented regional priority value chains.&nbsp;Particular focus on intra-African exports as well as exports to the European Union will be given, so regions can fully exploit their trade-driven growth potential, with a view to contribute to sustainable growth and jobs creation.The proposed programme will be developed through several regional components, building on existing or previous regional programmes (WACOMP in West Africa, MARKUP in East Africa, PIQAC in Central Africa, RECAMP and RISP in Southern Africa). This action aims to connect all these components, and maximise their coherence and joint impact with a common view to contribute to the AfCFTA and economic integration.Having a single framework action, with several geographic components, will ensure a structured approach and coherence between the different components of the action.This action will primarily contribute to SDG 8 (Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all) as well as to SDG 9 (Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).&nbsp;

Activity under preparation Fighting antimicrobial resistance and strengthening the One Health workforce in Africa This regional action is proposed in the framework of the health pillar of the Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package presented at the 2022 EU-AU Summit, where the AU and EU adopted ¿A Joint Vision 2030¿ declaration with strong commintments on health security and the One Health approach. The regional TEI with Africa on sustainable health security using a One Health approach (as defined by the One Health High Level Expert Pannel (OHHLEP)[1]) has a strong EU member states (MS) support:five EU MS are involved in the TEI (EUR 309 million indicative financial contributions by Team Europe (TE)). This TEI aims to develop further the EU¿s strategic partnership with the Africa CDC, public health agency of the AU, and to align with the AU call for a New Public Health Order in Africa. Priority areas of support have been identified jointly by TE members and Africa CDC. The intention is also to substantiate the partnership with other African organizations for Health security using a One Health approach.The overall objective of this action is to contribute to sustainably strengthen health security in Africa through two main interventions:·A first component will focus on improving the surveillance, prevention and control of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) using an integrated, systems strengthening One Health approach at national, regional and continental levels. This component will thereby particularly focus on providing support to the AMR Control programme of the Africa CDC and to its effective roll-out at regional and national levels in alignment with Global standards.·A second component will focus on improving the skills and capacities of relevant professional groups from various sectors in applying the One Health approach,As this will be the second package of action financed by the European Commission under the framework of the TEI with Africa on sustainable Health Security using a One Health approach (TEIA HSOH), it consciously builds on the RIP AAP23 Action for ¿Strengthening One Health surveillance, early detection and prevention of emerging zoonotic diseases in Africa¿ and further substantiates EU¿s strategic partnership with Africa CDC in particular the existing collaboration with its European counterpart the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). Furthermore, it leverages expertise available among European and national institutes and agencies relevant to the One Health approach and TEI Member States¿ development agencies (see section 2.2 on stakeholders).[1] https://www.who.int/news/item/01-12-2021-tripartite-and-unep-support-ohhlep-s-definition-of-one-health

Enhancing Maritime Security in Africa (¿Safe Seas for Africa¿) Over the last decade, illicit maritime activities have had a destabilizing effect in the countries along the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) and the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), weakening local communities¿ resilience, states¿ institutions and economies and regions¿ stability. While maritime threats are varied, coastal countries in the WIO and GoG face similar challenges, among which piracy, armed robbery and illicit trafficking at sea, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The groups behind some of these illicit activities have been exploiting jurisdictions and law enforcement gaps and weaknesses, as well as lack of coordination among actors involved in the fight against these threats, both at strategic and at operational level. This contributes to increase the insecurity of the waters in the two regions and jeopardise sustainable development as well as rights of local communities. This Action has the overall objective of contributing to enhancing maritime security and safety in Africa. The Action will address the causes of insecurity at sea and contribute to the overall coordination among actors involved in the fight against maritime criminality. This subject was identified in the Priority Area 2 (Democratic governance, peace and security, and culture), Specific Objective 2 (Peace and Security) of the Multi-Annual Indicative Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa 2021-2027. The Action is in line with SDG 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and DAC Markers on maritime security and trafficking, legal and judicial development, advanced technical and managerial training, and governance.In both regions, the Specific Objectives of the Action are: increasing the capacities and capabilities of national maritime law enforcement agencies to prevent, respond and investigate maritime crimes; building up the capacities of judicial bodies to prevent, repress, respond and adjudicate maritime crimes, enhancing legal finish; strengthening the capacities of the maritime security architectures in the two regions (the Yaoundé Architecture in the GoG and the Regional Maritime Security Architecture in the WIO); and, developing coordination and cooperation at intra-national/inter-agency and inter-regional level. The different outputs and activities of the Action are organised by geographical area.To achieve the overall objective, an integrated approach will be applied, covering capacity building and mentoring, and promoting communication and coordination among national, international and regional partners. The Action will be carried out in complementarity with both EU and non-EU funded actions at national and regional level, including relevant Regional Economic Communities and other regional stakeholders.
