The ACTIF or alternately African–Caribbean (AfriCaribbean) Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF) are a series of conferences which have taken place between the member states of the African continent and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). First begun in 2022 it was created as an initiative of the involved member states plus many organisations including: the African Export–Import Bank, the African Union Commission, the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, the Africa Business Council, the CARICOM Secretariat, and the Caribbean Export Development Agency, among others. Both groups have formed the high-level of multilateral dialogue series to further investment and cooperation between both regions in many levels of arrangement. The meeting series is part of the initiative to further integrate the Caribbean with the African Union-bloc as its 6th region known as the Diaspora. And the ultimate expansion of a possible full scope free trade arrangement between both.
