Cooperation Council of the Private Sectors, CCPS
The Cooperation Council of Private Sectors (CCPS) is established as one of the most paramount institutional bodies to serve as a strategic bridge through which Africa’s private sectors actors and global private sectors' stakeholders can formally converge, accede to, participate in, and operationally align with GECCA’s economic framework for shared growth and global Afrocentric reconstruction.The CCPS constitutes the strategic bridge for structured membership and cooperative engagement between major global Afrocentric multinational institutions, sovereign investors and strategic State-linked investment vehicles, major private capital funds corporates, development finance institutions, as well as federations, confederations, and global networks of private industrial entities seeking to engage with African private sectors and GECCA’s member and partner countries within a principled Afrocentric multilateral ecosystem for shared prosperity.
Acting as a diplomatic and economic convergence body, the CCPS shall catalyze the formation of new economic alliances, strategic trade and business partnerships, and crossregional investment corridors between global foreign investors and African industries and private sectors, ensuring that such alliances are anchored in mutual value creation, shared industrial upgrading, technology transfer, capital deepening, and long-term economic sovereignty. The CCPS is shaped to ensure that all private sectors' engagements, accessions, and cooperative mechanisms are fully aligned with GECCA's peace economies transition frameworks, unified global Afrocentric economic cooperation architectures, principles of sovereign equality, strategic autonomy, development-oriented capital mobilization; thereby turning private capital engagement from transactional investment flows into instruments of structural transformation.
In the execution of its mandate, the CCPS shall actively contribute to shaping global Afrocentric ecosystems beyond blocs and binaries, and shifting Africa from extractive, asymmetrical and peripheral systems to advancing structured and shared prosperity between the continent and its global economic partners. The CCPS shall enable the reintegration of African economies into a new global ecosystem operating under new multipolar and cooperative terms, whereby Africa reemerges as a co-architect of global value chains, and the private sector cooperation is repositioned as a pillar of global economic order rebalancing. The CCPS Members shall engage with GECCA’s governing and specialized bodies to underpin, ensure and unlocking deliberate structuring, pooling, and synchronization of fragmented African and foreign Afrocentric economic capacities into one unified, coordinated, scalable, and sovereign economic bloc capable of generating collective value, plenipotential power, as well as resilient, integrated and prosperous economic globalization.
The CCPS shall operate in a deeply structured coordination with the Board of Economists (for macroeconomic coherence and policy alignment), the Board of Ministers (for regulatory and intergovernmental consistency), the Country Permanent Representatives Committee (for sovereign anchoring and national alignment), the Board of Trustees (for high-level strategic direction), and the Secretariat-General (for administrative execution and institutional compliance); ensuring a constitutional coherence and more integrated governance across GECCA’s multilateral architecture. The CCPS Board shall contribute to the development of ethical standards, codes of conduct, and cooperation principles governing private sectors’ participation within GECCA, emphasizing accountability, responsible investment, and mutual value creation, social compacts anchored in the social corporate responsibility, as well as compliance with the organization’s sovereign transformation mechanisms aligned with African development priorities.
The CCPS Alliances shall catalyze a structured environment whereby African and global Afrocentric private sectors’ stakeholders cooperate around a pioneering agenda, whereby coordinated policy structuring frameworks empower the ideal for collective investment, economic sovereignty, and cooperative multipolar prosperity. Through this mechanism, investable, implementable, bankable and scalable policies and portfolios shall be collectively engineered and determinedly engaged, and transformative capital and concessional financing shall be pooled and redirected toward Africa’s strategic green assets, largest farm-belts, energy and infrastructure corridors, critical minerals, strategic waterways, human capital, as well as integrated industrial, manufacturing, technological, logistical areas; contributing to the rise of new poles of social market economies.
The CCPS shall stand as a cornerstone pillar within GECCA’s institutional architecture, entrusted to rewrite the economic power of private sectors, and integrating it into a multilateral governance ecosystem, whereby GECCA is sovereignly asserted as a global Afrocentric framework where public powers and private capital converge to catalyze new shared prosperity underpinned by a new global multipolar equilibrium
