What is the IATP? Supporting Change Makers for a Freer African Future

The future of African prosperity is at a crossroads.

The implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in January 2021 presents a unique opportunity for African nations to transcend the economic nationalism that has constrained the continent for centuries.

While the potential benefits of free trade in Africa are vast, so too are the challenges.

Our mission is to advocate for free market policies by supporting those in Africa who are best positioned to drive change. The Initiative for African Trade and Prosperity (IATP) operates on the core belief that grassroots free market policies are the most effective way to alleviate poverty, enhance individual liberty, and foster a more peaceful future.

As a project of the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Vinson Centre for the Public Understanding of Economics and Entrepreneurship at the University of Buckingham, the IATP collaborates with numerous think tanks, universities, and local actors to amplify voices advocating for greater freedom.

The IATP does not impose its beliefs on others. Instead, we work alongside local actors, helping them explore and promote classical economics and free trade, ultimately leading to greater prosperity for all.
