Overview of regional integration in Africa

African countries have a fairly long history of repeated attempts to group themselves—in sub-groups and even Africa-wide—through several broad types of arrangements. Many researchers have argued that regional integration and cooperation are the most appropriate way to improve weak intra-African trade as well as internal (domestic) trade. Many of the more popular arguments rest heavily on the possibilities of generating large economies of scale from activities typically associated with expanded trade and overall economic growth in a country.
