Regional Integration, Challenges, Africa, Possible Pathways.

Regional integration in Africa is quite an important initiative aimed at enhancing socio-economic development and numerous other benefits for the continent, through reconciling the resources and ideas of the continents’ member states. The constitutive act of the African Union commissioned the formation of different Regional Economic communities (RECs) to complement the regional integration efforts for the continent. The African Economic Community (AEC) thus established the various African regional blocs to serve as foundational blocks for the realization of total integration in Africa. When successful, the RECs will enhance the harmonization of states’ economies, and facilitate intra and inter-REC economic integration, and free movement of persons, goods and services, and ideas. However, the process of regional integration in Africa has over the years been bedeviled by various factors, limiting the full attainment of integration among African countries. As a result of these challenges, both internal and external, the efforts of the various RECs to engineer grassroots integration within the regional blocs have been crippled. Therefore, the RECs need a reignited effort to address the challenges posing as stumbling blocks to intra-regional smooth integration, to subsequently pave the way for an absolute integration to be realized.
