ABOUT THE GFVC AFRICA COMMISSION
OVERVIEW
The Commission is an independent political institution of the Global Fashion Value Chain Federation of Africa and its constituent entities, which make up the organization's executive arm.
The primary purpose of establishing the entire ecosystem is to address the underdevelopment of Africa and its lack of independent, robust development institutions and governance. These issues have led to challenges faced by the economy and left-behind communities in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and creative industries. By enhancing NEPAD and AfCFTA's capacities to improve the impact on aligned Sustainable Development Goals, the aim is to decolonize, protect, and build a highly competitive single GFVC economy that can achieve balanced economic growth, price stability, social progress, environmental protection, and financial freedom for all Africans across the socioeconomic strata.
OUR VISION
To build a High-Road Industrial Future Economy that unites, transforms, respects its ecological limits and achieves a high quality of life and well-being for Africans.
OUR MISSION
To be an effective institution that adds value and contributes to the sustainable development of a single GFVC economy which benefits all African citizens. We are guided by our set of values, governing principles and global sustainable development goals. To achieve our mission, we work closely with the RECs of the GFVC Public Council, GFVC Regional Commissioners, and global development partners.
Our values represent the aspirations, principles, and vision of the Federal Global Fashion Value Chain of Africa; the UNs SDGs and AUs Continental Free Trade Agreement's Objectives. For effective discharge of our Mandate, they guide our day-to-day behaviors, inform how we act and shape the decisions we make. All Pan-African communities have a role to play in GFVC AFRICA's success.
