The Regional Impact Nexus: Evaluating AfCFTA's Influence on Southern African Supply Chains in Eswatini

This study addresses a current research gap in Business concerning The Impact of the AfCFTA on Regional Supply Chains in Southern Africa in Eswatini. The objective is to formulate a rigorous model, state verifiable assumptions, and derive results with direct analytical or practical implications. A structured analytical approach was used, integrating formal modelling with domain evidence. The results establish bounded error under perturbation, a convergent estimation process under stated assumptions, and a stable link between the proposed metric and observed outcomes. The findings provide a reproducible analytical basis for subsequent theoretical and applied extensions. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
