Investing in the United States

With its vast domestic market, transparent legal system, and the most innovative companies in the world, the United States is the world’s premier business location.  If you are considering investing in the United States, or exporting to the United States, the following resources may help:

• The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) provides beneficiary countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with liberal access to the U.S. market.
• USAID’s West Africa Trade and Investment Hub, based in Accra, promotes trade with and within the region.
