The Governments of Gabon and the United States are pleased to announce the availability of media accreditation applications for the 2015 African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum of U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation to be held from August 24-27 in Libreville, Gabon. AGOA is the centerpiece of the United States’ trade policy with Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Forum brings together over 800 participants, including senior U.S. and African officials, as well as U.S. and African members of the private sector and civil society. Gabon is home to the first manganese processing plant in sub-Saharan Africa, a young population, splendid rainforests, and vibrant wildlife. The Forum’s theme: “AGOA at 15: Charting a Course for a Sustainable U.S.-Africa Trade and Investment Partnership” is especially timely, given the recent reauthorization of AGOA for an additional ten years.
