Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding our focus on telecommunications, freedom of movement, and economic policy.

Why is "Roam Like Home" the first barrier to be removed?

Communication is the fundamental prerequisite for trade, social cohesion, and partnership. Today, calling a neighbouring African country often costs tenfold what it costs to call Europe or North America. By eliminating roaming charges and capping tariffs at domestic rates, we instantly empower 1.4 billion people to converse, negotiate, and build businesses freely.

How can "Visa on Arrival for All Africans" be implemented?

Pioneering nations like Rwanda, Kenya, Ghana, and Seychelles have already proven that opening borders boosts tourism, air travel, and tax revenues without compromising security. AfricaOne mobilizes data and bilateral advocacy to push all 54 states to ratify the African Union Free Movement Protocol and implement automatic visa-on-arrival.

Who is eligible to join the coalition?

Participation is open to telecommunications providers, industrial enterprises, small and medium business associations, civil society bodies, trade unions, academic researchers, and innovators operating within any of the 54 African nations or across the global African Diaspora.

What happens following my coalition registration?

Upon review by our policy secretariat, new members receive the comprehensive AfricaOne Briefing Dossier, are assigned to relevant working committees (such as the Telecom & Connectivity Committee or the Mobility Working Group), and are invited to stakeholder consultative hearings.
