Global Africa Trade Advisory Chamber to launch in Abuja on 25 May
Global Africa Trade Advisory Chamber (GATAC) is expected to officially launch on 25 May 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria, as the organisation seeks to strengthen trade, investment and development cooperation across Africa and beyond. The launch will convene business leaders, investors, diplomats and trade experts to explore opportunities in trade facilitation, strategic partnerships and economic development on the continent.
GATAC currently operates in more than 20 countries through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model that connects governments, private sector stakeholders and development partners. Through this model, the chamber supports trade facilitation, investment and project financing in sectors such as agriculture, health, education, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. Among its partnerships is a collaboration with the Dawa Industrial Zone in Ghana aimed at promoting industrial development and expanding diaspora investment opportunities within free zone structures. The chamber is headed by its President, Dr Dominic Oduro-Antwi, who has overseen the organisation's expansion and partnership drive across multiple countries. Dr Oduro-Antwi received the Health Advocate of the Year award at the Global Community Oscars in the United States in 2019 and the Business Leadership and Health Advocacy Award at the Pan African Humanitarian Summit and Awards in Dubai in the same year. He was also recognised as Outstanding Business and Trade Advocate of the Year in 2022 and listed among the 100 Most Notable Peace Icons in Africa in 2023.
The chamber says the Abuja launch will help consolidate its international presence while advancing its PPP-driven strategy of linking African development projects to global investment opportunities.
