Description

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) provides trade capacity building (TCB) assistance to sub-Saharan African governments and firms to promote exports and develop infrastructures. AGOA provides duty-free access on qualifying U.S. imports from eligible sub-Saharan African countries, a total of 41 countries as of Dec. 1, 2014. From 2001 through 2013, U.S. agencies funded about $5 billion in TCB assistance to AGOA countries. This report examines (1) U.S. government TCB assistance in support of AGOA; and (2) the extent to which the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has made efforts to develop strategic approaches to AGOA utilization. It focuses on USAID and the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC) because these two agencies accounted for nearly 90% of funding for TCB activities in AGOA countries from 2001 through 2013. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
