%X This paper seeks to ascertain how financial inclusion and intra-African trade affect export diversification performance in sub-Saharan Africa. The data, secondary in nature, are annual and cover a 16-year period for 23 countries. The model used in the analysis is an extension of <a href=\"#ref33\">Gnangnon (2021)</a>. The estimations are done using the method of <a href=\"#ref26\">Driscoll and Kraay (1998)</a>. The results indicate that financial inclusion and intra-African trade are significant in exporting diversification in Sub-Saharan Africa economies when considered individually. Moreover, the interaction between financial inclusion and intra-Africa exports significantly influences export diversification. Based on these findings, this study thus advocates that sub-Saharan African economies improve financial inclusion and intra-African trade.
