The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) has over the last two years remained a core element of the United States’ trade relationship with sub-Saharan Africa. During this time, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) continued efforts to support the program by strengthening economic cooperation with African nations and implementing the Biden-Harris Administration’s worker-centered trade policy. During this period, USTR worked to catalyze inclusive growth in Africa, foster sustainable development, and promote regional integration to ensure that all people across the United States and Africa benefited from the global economy, especially as we supported efforts to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Since it was signed into law in May 2000, AGOA has encouraged American companies to both do business with and invest in sub-Saharan Africa. It has spurred economic growth and created tens of thousands of jobs across the continent. The program also has provided incentives to African governments to undertake key political and economic reforms. To build on these successes, among other activities, USTR hosted a high-level Virtual African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Ministerial Meeting in October 2021; coordinated the annual interagency AGOA country eligibility review to ensure that countries receiving AGOA preferences were in compliance with the statutory requirements; engaged with key U.S. and African stakeholders on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement; and, worked to resolve trade and investment barriers across the continent. The United States also held numerous in-person and virtual engagements with many African counterparts. These included engagements with Kenyan government officials to discuss how to deepen the vital trade and economic relationship between Kenya and the United States.
