Abstract
This paper seeks to suggest measures that can assist African countries and their regional economic communities (RECs) in implementing their trade liberalization schemes. In this regard existing arrangements and the factors hindering their implementation will be reviewed. trade liberalization is widely used as an economic tool to stimulate trade within and among countries. It is applied at the national, regional, sub-regional and global levels. with increased globalization of markets and the related neoliberal economic policies, economic liberalization measures have been accepted worldwide as a catalyst for trade expansion and economic development.
