Sub-Saharan Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa consists of 49 countries and is in the process of integrating into the world’s largest free trade area. The region presents real opportunity for American businesses, encompassing combined market population of over 1 billion people and GDP of more than $1.5 trillion. Rapid population and GDP growth will only increase this opportunity in the future, as the region is home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world. The U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (CS) is present in nine Sub-Saharan African countries, has a network of U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) across the United States, and has a team of country experts located at Commerce Department headquarters in Washington, DC.
