Title: AfCFTA Secretariat Website & Events App Case Study | Stimuluz Technologies

Description: Stimuluz Technologies built the official website and events app for the AfCFTA Secretariat, supporting continental trade summits, delegate registration, and stakeholder communication.

Overview

Stimuluz Technologies built the official website and a dedicated events app for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, giving the institution a digital platform to communicate its trade agenda to 54 member states and equipping it to run large-scale continental summits and business forums.

The Challenge

As the body coordinating one of the world’s largest free trade areas, the AfCFTA Secretariat needed a digital presence that could speak credibly to governments, businesses, investors, media, and the public across a continent with widely varying levels of connectivity and language. Beyond the website, the Secretariat regularly convenes major trade summits and business forums that involve delegate registration, complex multi-track agendas, and real-time schedule changes — activities that are difficult to manage through email and paper programmes alone.

The Solution

Stimuluz delivered two connected digital tools. The website was built on a flexible content management system so the Secretariat’s communications team could publish news, protocols, agreements, and resources without depending on developers for every update. Alongside it, Stimuluz developed dedicated events web and mobile applications for the Secretariat’s summits and forums, handling delegate registration, agendas, and real-time updates in one place, reducing reliance on printed programmes and manual check-in processes.

Key Features

  • Multi-section website with news, press releases, and resource library
  • Searchable repository of trade agreements, protocols, and reports
  • Content management system for non-technical editorial teams
  • Delegate registration and digital accreditation for summits
  • Interactive, multi-track event agendas
  • Speaker and session profiles
  • Push notifications for schedule or venue changes
  • Directory-style networking for delegates and exhibitors

Results & Impact

The website and events app gave the AfCFTA Secretariat a unified digital presence for engaging member states, the private sector, and the media, and a practical tool for running its flagship trade summits and business forums with digital registration and live agenda updates in place of manual processes.

Technology Approach

Content-managed website architecture, cross-platform events app, and cloud-hosted infrastructure built to handle high traffic spikes around major summit dates.
