VEGA’s
Africa Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA+) program is a two- year export
promotion program under the broader trade initiative AGOA, which was signed
into law on May 18, 2000. AGOA and all activates under AGOA are designed
to offer tangible incentives for African nations to continue their efforts
to open their economies and build free and prosperous markets.
This
program aims to develop and promote Ethiopia’s export market to
the United States and other international markets. The program will accomplish
this objective through three primary project activities:
- Disseminating
information to Ethiopian business regarding AGOA opportunities;
- Creating
and strengthening business linkages between Ethiopia businesses and
the Diaspora community in the US; and
- Holding
and participating in a series of trade and reverse trade missions for
products with a competitive advantage.
