Draft 1 · for discussion only · this will not be the final allocation

Buy African Initiative · Right of Supply · AU STC-FMAEPI Ministerial · July 2026

Fifty-four states. One continental market. A first draft, tabled for your correction.

This is Draft 1. It is deliberately provisional and will not be the final product bundle for any state. Its purpose is to open the conversation — your ministry's corrections, additions and removals are the next step of the method.
USD 709 bntotal continental imports, 2023
USD 620 bnsourced off-continent — the prize
USD 136.75 bnmeasured government procurement

Watch — the three-minute introduction

Before the country bundles: what the Right of Supply is, the two layers it needs, and why the figure that matters is USD 620 bn.

The prize

USD 620 billion leaves the continent every year. This is the market.

Consultation Paper 01 · the big-ticket categories · comment invited

The Big Twelve — allocating the continent’s largest procurement lines without crowning new monopolies

Fuel, food, medicines and the machines that power, move and protect the continent: twelve categories carry USD 326.7 bn — 46 per cent of the import ledger — and none of them can simply be handed to one member state. This paper puts the problem, the candidate benches and five allocation instruments under study on the table, openly, before anything is fixed.

Read Consultation Paper 01 → Every product broken down · every candidate supplier named · every approach open for your correction

The framework in sixty seconds

Two layers. First, the AU pre-allocates 25-year supply rights per product category to designated African producers — the fairness layer, and the reason every state below has a draft list. Second, the Match-or-Release rule — the Cell Phone Test: when your government procures, the designated continental supplier is shown your open-market quote and must match it on price, quality, warranty and service — or release you instantly, no penalty, no delay.

This is not pooled procurement. No central buyer, no aggregated tenders. Purchase-by-purchase, country-by-country; your procurement autonomy is untouched. And under the South Sudan Principle, fragile and rebuilding states hold aspirational allocations — the demand certainty against which capability is built.

The Cell Phone Test

Match the open-market offer — or release the buyer. Instantly.

The 54 draft bundles

Find your state. Tiers reflect current capability evidence: ANCHOR and STRONG are operating positions; EMERGING is buildable; ASPIRATIONAL is the South Sudan Principle at work.

Your ministry’s view

The state is the buyer. The correction is the method.

Your Ministry’s view — the step that matters

Draft 2 is built from what you mark here. Two of these take a single tap; the whole response takes a minute and tells the Chair exactly where your government stands. For the full picture, open your country’s document above and respond there — the questions are the same.

1

Which country do you represent?

2

Where do you stand on the Right of Supply for your country?

3

How strongly do you back the framework?
