Coordinating across 17 USG departments and agencies, Prosper Africa aims to integrate USG resources that have been traditionally siloed andutilizethem all together to dramatically affect the success of a single trade or investment transaction.
Prosper Africa focuses on three main tradeobjectives: 1) advancing deals, 2) unlocking market opportunities, and 3) strengthening business and investment climates. Prosper Africa works to scale trade at transformative levels between the US and African countriesin order topromote global supply chain security, better integrate African producers and suppliers into global markets including the US, create jobs and support inclusive economic growth. Scaling trade requires up-leveling the trade ecosystem through enterprise-led solutions, technology innovation, greater coordination across trading platforms and market players.
To implement these priorities, Prosper Africa isutilizingthe USAID Africa Trade and Investment (ATI) mechanism. ATI is a five-year mechanism managed by USAID's Bureau for Africa and implemented by DAI, which runs through 2026 and allows the U.S. Government to work closely with the private sector to shape activities that unlock business opportunities, particularly those that drive trade and investment into and out of African markets.
