The relationship between Trade and Investment in the global economic system is evolving quickly because of technological trends, financial liberalization, and new approaches to organizing production and distribution. Within the AICTPI framework, facilitating investment is understood as creating a more proficient, transparent, investment-friendly business climate – by making it simpler for local and foreign businesses to invest, conduct their business, and increase their existing investments, and for African and international governments to work cooperatively and mutually beneficial ways to facilitate more sustainable investment.
AICTPI follow various measures to facilitate investment, mainly for MSMEs, at the national and international level. For example, where countries negotiate Trade and Investment agreements that consist of provisions aiming at facilitating conditions for small companies to access to or gain from investment possibilities, on the other hand, at the national level, countries looking to simplify investment might also develop policies, institutions and financial facilities to support small businesses to interact in trade and investment globally by growing their access to technology, capital, and organizational networks.
AICTPI assists for developing Investment Facilitation regulations for accomplishing development purposes, such as small business competitiveness and growth. We also provide action lines, values, and examples for designing Investment Facilitation measures, including issues specifically for small business requirements.

- Periodic impact assessments of the investment facilitation context on small businesses
- Certification programs for developing small commercial enterprise linkages to larger organizations, multinationals, and clients
