From Fragmentation to Integration: The Case for a Payment Services Directive for Africa - Webinar

This high-level capacity-building webinar, co-hosted by the AfricaNenda Foundation and the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF), explores how policy and regulatory harmonization can unlock efficient, affordable, and inclusive retail cross-border payments across Africa. Drawing on insights from the State of Inclusive Instant Payment Systems (SIIPS) reports and ongoing continental consultations, the session will examine key regulatory frictions affecting cross-border payments, digital trade, and MSMEs, and introduce the proposed Payment Services Directive for Africa (PSDA) — a mechanism proposed by AfricaNenda and the African Union Commission to reduce fragmentation. Register to join policymakers and regulators in shaping practical pathways for seamless cross-border payments in Africa.
