ASYCUDA participated at the 30th Conference of Customs Directors General in the World Customs Organization’s West and Central Africa (WCO-AOC) region. The meeting takes place every year and is held in a different West or Central African country, this year taking place in Mali from 29-31 May 2024.

WCO’s theme for 2024 is “Customs Engaging Traditional and New Partners with Purpose”. Speaking at the event, WCO Secretary-General, Mr. Ian Saunders, said, “The objective is to bring efficiencies to customs operations at the global level and to deliver prosperity for humanity”.

ASYCUDA staff presented the Programme’s work in the region, including its latest software developments, such as ASYSW, the electronic single window for trade that is based on ASYCUDA technologies. The 2025 meeting is planned to take place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
