Addis Ababa, June 22, 2018 (FBC) – A high level U.S. business delegation will visit Ethiopia, Kenya, Côte D’Ivoire and Ghana later this month.
Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross will lead a delegation from the President’s Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa (PAC-DBIA) on a fact-finding mission to Ghana.
Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Gilbert Kaplan will head the delegation on stops in Ethiopia, Kenya and Côte D’Ivoire as well as accompany Secretary Ross in Ghana.
These visits provide an opportunity for the delegation to gather insight into market opportunities and challenges faced by U.S. businesses in these fast-growing economies.
The PAC-DBIA will use this information to provide President Trump with reliable and actionable recommendations to deepen commercial relationships in these countries.
"This mission underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to both advance opportunities and to eliminate trade barriers to strengthen the U.S.-Africa commercial relationship," said a statement the US Embassy in Addis Ababa sent to FBC today.
During the trip, PAC-DBIA members will gather country-specific information for use in making recommendations to the President to resolve issues related to underdeveloped capital markets, non-transparent and price-based procurement processes, and workforce development.
The delegation will be comprised of PAC-DBIA representatives from companies such as Acrow Bridge, Amethyst Technologies, APR Energy, Bechtel , Black Rhino, Caterpillar, Citi, Computer Frontiers Inc., Dow Chemical Company, DSC Dredge, GE, IBM, Insta-Pro International, Kosmos Energy, Shea Yeleen, Synnove Energy, UPS, Varian Medical Systems, Vermeer, Visa Inc. and Weber Shandwick
PAC-DBIA members have prioritized the four markets based on the potential to improve the U.S. trade relationship with each nation.
The government of Ethiopia is making significant investments in infrastructure and is open to foreign investment.
