The Volta River Authority (VRA) in collaboration with the Ghana International Trade & Finance Conference (GITFiC) is set to distribute 1,000 copies of the book titled ‘Actualizing The African Economic Vision; A Practical Handbook on the AfCFTA’ to some selected senior high schools in the Eastern Region.

This comes ahead of the 7th GITFiC to be held from Friday, May 26 to Sunday, May 28 at the Royal Senchi Resort and Hotel.

VRA is spearheading the exercise as part of its 60th anniversary.

The Eastern Regional Education Directorate of the Ghana Education Service will aid in the selection of the 10 senior high schools to receive the 100 copies each of the handbook.

A press statement signed by Chief Executive Officer of GITFiC Selasi Koffi Ackom on Monday, May 8 said since the launch of the book – in English and French – several entities have acquired up to 2,600 copies “for their personal knowledge acquisition on the subject”.

GCB Bank Pls, for instance, purchased 500 copies at the launch for distribution to its executives and customers nationwide.

‘Actualizing The African Economic Vision; A Practical Handbook on the AfCFTA’ was authored by GITFiC as a mode to help “wide sensitization and education of the AfCFTA, which is part of the AU’s agenda 2063”.
