James Kofi Annan is founder and president of Challenging Heights in Ghana. He started the multiple award-winning organization to combat child trafficking in the fishing industry on Lake Volta, after spending seven years there as a modern child slave. He previously served as board chair of Family for Every Child for six years.
There is, as yet, no law in Africa that makes it mandatory for African businesses to address human trafficking and modern slavery in their supply chains. Members of AfCFTA need to change this.
