New trade hub opened in Dakar
US Agency for International Development (USAID) assistant administrator Lloyd Pierson inaugurated a West Africa Trade Hub in Dakar, Senegal, on November 8, which aims to promote improvements in Africa’s trade capacity, boost international exports and help businesses take advantage of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) – a law that provides trade preferences to countries that are making progress in economic, legal and human rights reforms.
