About AFUR Sectoral Committees

Each AFUR Sectoral Committee brings together regulatory bodies from member countries to address sector-specific challenges. Committees meet regularly via webinar, produce regulatory guidelines and framework documents, coordinate knowledge-sharing workshops, and develop joint projects funded by development partners. The Transport Sector Working Group (TSWG) was formed in 2023 and held its inaugural meeting in June 2024.
