About CACT

Canadian African Caribbean Trade

Connect. Coordinate. Amplify.

Who we are

CACT (Canadian African Caribbean Trade) is the institutional home for diaspora-led trade coordination across Canada, Africa, and the Caribbean. We organize trade missions, convene partners, and maintain a shared platform so organizations, people, and public institutions can find each other and act together.

What trade means here

Trade on CACT is broad exchange — commerce, services, knowledge, and relationships — not a storefront. Missions and the platform exist to open markets, introduce institutions, and sustain partnerships long after a delegation returns home.

How missions are carried out

Each mission is a curated itinerary: host-city engagement, structured institutional introductions, and follow-through after travel. Past missions span Marrakech, Paris, Gatineau, and Burundi; an economic mission to Phnom Penh is planned for November 2026.

Charters and governance

Our charters define vision, objectives, and how the portal is governed.
