Description
Notice ID: 7200AA21R00012
Contract Award Number: 7200AA21C00056
Description: The purpose of this activity is to mobilize enterprise-driven solutions that will help to unlock Africa’s growing markets, expand U.S.-Africa trade and investment relationships, and achieve development outcomes across all sectors, in line with USAID’s Private Sector Engagement Policy and the USG Prosper Africa initiative. U.S. foreign assistance has a twofold purpose of furthering America's interests while improving lives in the developing world. USAID carries out U.S. foreign policy by promoting broad-scale human progress at the same time it expands stable, free societies, creates markets and trade partners for the United States, and fosters good will abroad. By strengthening mutually beneficial trade and investment relations between U.S. and African firms and investors, TTIA will advance the African continent’s Journey to Self-Reliance.
The new activity will support trade, investment and PSE programming that drives development outcomes in all sectors. Illustrative technical capacities will include:
● Increasing Trade - Improving availability and flow of market information and analytics; Strengthening business-to-business linkages; Co-investing with U.S. and other firms on sourcing partnerships in sectors and products with potential for large-scale growth.
● Increasing Investment - Identifying and facilitating investor match-making; Transaction facilitation services; Supporting U.S. and other pioneer firms/first-movers to enter African markets; Financial sector deepening, including capital market platforms.
● Improving the Enabling Environment - Policy interventions that unlock specific trade or investment opportunities, especially those with direct impact on business and high-level political buy-in; supporting implementation of key U.S. trade policy priorities such as potential Free Trade Agreements or the African Continental Free Trade Area or the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement.
