It focuses on the potential impact of AfCFTA on employment and workers' rights in Ghana, highlighting the need for policies to ensure that workers benefit from the agreement as well as the role of trade unions in supporting the manufacturing sector under AfCFTA, including the need for capacity building and advocacy for workers' rights.Enjoy it!
