The AfCFTA faces several unique challenges due to its diverse member countries, eachwith distinct regulatory frameworks, infrastructure levels, and economic conditions (Miller & Kessler, 2023). These differences complicate the harmonisation of standards, tariffs, and customs procedures (Olufemi et al., 2024).
