EAC African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) Strategy 2015 - 2025: harnessing the power of EA unity to transform doing business with USA.

Abstract

From the EAC perspective, it would be more beneficial for the Partner States to build synergies and trade as a bloc in order to tap into the AGOA opportunities. Besides, the reauthorized AGOA is strong on advocacy for regional integration. The EAC has, therefore, taken the lead in the development of an EAC-AGOA Strategy under the theme “harnessing the power of EA unity to transform doing business with U.S.A. ”The Strategy builds on the EAC Development Plan (2011/12 to 2105/16), the EAC Export Promotion Strategy (2013 – 2016) and the EAC Industrialization Policy (2012 to 2032) among other policy blueprints.
