Welcome to CRIA

The Centre for Regional Integration in Africa (CRIA) works to contribute to the acceleration of African development through effective implementation of integration between African countries. Toward this objective, CRIA’s mission is to build capacity, provide evidence-based research and facilitate the adoption of well-informed policy choices for meeting challenges of regionalism in Africa in the 21st century, just at the critical time that the continent is implementing the all-important African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA), a flagship project of the African Union Agenda 2063.”
