    (Addis Ababa, 2021) Teferi, Yeabsra; Merso, Fikremarkos(Associate Profesere)
    The Agreement of AfCFTA, which was signed by Ethiopia on the 21st day of March, 2018 and ratified by the FDRE House of Peoples Representatives at its session held on the 21st day of March, 2019, has been recently launched in the country. Ethiopia has also adopted, in 2015, the UN’s Agenda 2030 on the sustainable development, which has 17 different goals. The implementation of AfCFTA agreement has prospects and challenges on the realization of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for the continent and for each State Party to the Agreement. In this regard, the prospects and challenges of membership of Ethiopia to AfCFTA on the realization of the SDGs of Agenda 2030 must be studied to use the potential benefits and minimize the possible challenges. Hence, the paper critically analyzes the prospects and challenges of membership of Ethiopia to AfCFTA agreement on the realization of selected SDGs of the UN’s Agenda 2030 (i.e., G2, 8 & 13).
