Afreximbank, ZEP-RE join forces to build skills for Africa’s growing trade ecosystem

“Africa’s ability to expand trade and investment depends on more than financial resources and infrastructure. It also depends on knowledge, skills and institutional capacity across our markets,” Kauma said.

He said the partnership would combine Afreximbank’s expertise in trade and trade finance with ZEP-RE’s experience in insurance, reinsurance and risk management.

Under the agreement, the two institutions will develop digital learning content, including e-learning courses, toolkits and African case studies, through a joint content development approach.

The programmes will be delivered through AFRACAD’s digital learning platform and/or ZEP-RE Academy’s learning management system, allowing the institutions to extend access to specialised training across African markets.

The partnership will also provide professional and executive development programmes covering areas such as risk and reinsurance, trade guarantees, trade facilitation, financial infrastructure and market development.

The MoU will initially run for three years and may be renewed by mutual agreement.
