Seventh U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade
and Economic Cooperation Forum
US State Department, July 10, 2008
The seventh U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic
Cooperation Forum (“the Agricultural Growth and Opportunity
Act [AGOA] Forum”) with the theme of "Mobilizing Private
Investment for Trade and Growth" will take place in
Washington, D.C., July 14 to 16, 2008. Discussions will
focus on the linkages between private investment and
economic growth in Africa and highlight ways in which
African countries can best take advantage of trade
opportunities under AGOA. This event will bring together
senior U.S. administration officials and African government
ministers, as well as U.S. and African members of the
private sector and civil society. The ministerial plenary
sessions will be held on July 15 at the Department of State.
In addition, representatives of civil society and the
private sector will host related events on July 14 and 16.
Senior officials from more than 10 U.S. Government agencies
are expected to attend.
AGOA represents a progressive U.S. trade and investment
policy toward the continent that is reducing barriers to
trade, increasing diversified exports, creating jobs and
expanding opportunities for Africans. Specifically, AGOA
provides trade preferences to designated countries that are
making progress in economic and political reforms. With the
recent addition of Togo and the Union of the Comoros, there
are currently 41 Sub-Saharan African countries that can take
advantage of the trade benefits.
