This study explores the implication of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA) on trade, poverty reduction and inclusive growth with much focus on the Horn of African countries. It analyzes the distributional impacts of the Agreement on households, consumers and workers and identifying the mechanisms through which the AfCFTA's impact flows. While there is extensive literature on the impact of regional trade agreements on trade and capital flows, however, there is comparatively less research on the possible linkages between regional integration, and poverty reduction within the African context.
