African nations play an important role in the global economy with some of the fastest-growing economies in the world and a growing population that is increasingly young, urban, and digitally connected.

The United States, in turn, offers a large consumer base, the world’s deepest capital markets, and a commitment to job creation, transparency, and social responsibility.

Increased economic engagement between the United States and African nations creates jobs, fuels economic growth, and advances shared prosperity.

This is where Prosper Africa comes in.

Prosper Africa mobilizes services and resources from across the U.S. Government to empower businesses and investors with market insights, deal support, and financing opportunities.

“We must all work together to advance our shared vision of a better future – a future of growing trade and investment that advances prosperity for all our nations.”

President Biden to AU Summit participantsFebruary 2021
