Media Release – The Government of Barbados and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) have announced the first-ever Africa-Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF2022), scheduled to take place in Bridgetown, Barbados, from August 31 to September 3, 2022.

ACTIF2022 will be held under the theme “One People, One Destiny: Uniting and Reimagining Our Future”. The Forum aims to foster the development of strategic partnerships between the business communities in Africa and the Caribbean, to bolster bilateral cooperation and increase engagement in trade, investment, technology transfer, innovation, tourism, culture, and other sectors.

Additionally, ACTIF2022 is expected to contribute to implementing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and the Caribbean trade development agenda, further reflecting the deep-rooted ties between Africa and the Caribbean based on their shared history, culture, common identity, and destiny.

ACTIF2022 is being co-managed by Invest Barbados and Export Barbados. As part of their commitment to the Forum’s success, CEOs Kaye Greenidge and Mark Hill hosted Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President of Afreximbank’s Intra-African Trade Bank, and her team during a preparatory visit to Barbados between July 20 and July 22, 2022, and facilitated meetings with Prime Minister the Honourable Mia Amor Mottley and representatives of key local and regional organisations. 

Prime Minister Mottley said that Barbados is especially pleased to host ACTIF2022, which will be a major step towards strengthening relations between Africa and CARICOM.

“Last September, Barbados signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Afreximbank, and we are committed to the success of that MOU. Indeed, Barbados is of the view that Afreximbank is a key partner for all CARICOM Member States in facilitating trade and investment opportunities between Africa and the Caribbean. Establishing air links between our regions is vital if those prospects are realised, and Barbados is committed to doing its part to achieve that. After four centuries, Africa and the Caribbean are joining forces, and so this Forum must embrace all our people. It is a historical moment that cannot be captured by only a few businesses and businessmen; none of us should miss it. I am confident that ACTIF2022 will connect our peoples and result in an increased flow of goods and services between our two regions – and overall, wider cooperation,” Prime Minister Mottley affirmed.

Executive Vice President of Afreximbank’s Intra-African Trade Bank, Mrs. Awani, noted that ACTIF2022 is taking place against the backdrop of the renewed engagement between Africa and the Caribbean.

“The joint hosting of the first Africa-Caribbean Trade and Investment Forum is a key step towards the renaissance of the relationship between Africa and the Caribbean. Following the step taken on September 7, 2021, by the African and Caribbean Heads of State and Government at their summit, where they renewed their commitment to revitalising the relationship, ACTIF2022 is the next logical stride, using the power of trade to reconnect the two regions,” declared Mrs. Awani.

She added, “We thank the Government of Barbados for sharing our vision and generously committing itself without hesitation to host this Forum, extending the invitation to the business communities and developmental agencies in Africa and the wider Caribbean region. We look forward to a successful Forum and a renewed relationship between two regions that everything links”.

Participants at ACTIF2022 will include African and Caribbean Heads of State, senior government representatives, business leaders, representatives of business associations, development agencies, multilateral finance institutions, think tanks, and research institutions from Africa and the Caribbean.

ACTIF2022 is being convened by the Government of Barbados and the Afreximbank, in collaboration with the African Union Commission, the AfCFTA Secretariat, the Africa Business Council, the CARICOM Secretariat, the Caribbean Development Bank, and the Caribbean Export Development Agency.
