Description
Excerpt: USAID is expanding the preexisting efforts of its trade hubs with the five-year, $200 million Africa Global Competitiveness Initiative (AGCI), a continuation of the previous four-year, $70 million Africa Trade Initiative. Like the Trade Initiative, AGCI will focus on policy and regulatory reform along with direct assistance to business. It will also address two new areas: financial services and infrastructure barriers to trade. Ultimately, African governments, institutions, and individuals bear responsibility for creating trade opportunities and removing local and regional barriers to economic development and trade.
