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.
