Afreximbank and ZEP-RE partner to boost African trade and insurance expertise

Afreximbank and ZEP-RE have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance professional and institutional capacity in trade, insurance, reinsurance, risk management, and trade facilitation across Africa.

The three-year partnership integrates the Afreximbank Academy (AFRACAD) and ZEP-RE Academy to create and scale research and knowledge programs. A key component of the agreement is the development of digital learning content, including e-learning courses and toolkits, through a joint “content factory” approach. These resources will be distributed via the institutions' respective digital learning platforms to expand access to training across African markets.

The collaboration aims to strengthen the skills required to support the continent's expanding trade and investment ecosystem by combining Afreximbank’s expertise in trade finance with ZEP-RE’s specialized knowledge in insurance and risk management.
