The East Africa Trade and Investment Hub (the Hub) is the U.S. government’s flagship project under the presidential Trade Africa initiative, launched in 2013 to boost trade and investment with and within Africa. The Hub facilitates East African Community (EAC) investment and technology adoption. The project connects investors to investees and builds awareness of opportunities for African and U.S. firms to increase trade and expand business partnerships, particularly under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). The Hub works with the private sector and local governments to find practical solutions for trade and investment constraints that lead to a pro- investment environment.
