Summary
Introduction
This chapter addresses the legal framework for financing African RTAs as well as the legal, policy and practical challenges that arise in the context of their financing. In my research, I did not come across any similar effort. I confronted challenges of getting reliable and up-to-date data to show where African RTAs were raising their revenue – whether through member contributions, donors or other sources. As this chapter shows, financing African RTAs has been a huge challenge.
