African Growth and Opportunity Act
ai generated text
The African Growth and Opportunity Act, or AGOA, is a piece of legislation approved by the US Congress in May 2000 to assist the economies of sub-Saharan Africa and improve US-Africa economic relations. The law was initially valid for 15 years and was extended in 2015 for an additional 10 years, until 2025. AGOA was the idea of Congressman Jim McDermott and his team, with significant contributions from activists and Rosa Whitaker, the first ever Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Africa. The law has undergone revisions in 2015, making it easier for countries to become eligible, but its scheduled expiration in 2025 makes the future of US-Africa relations uncertain.learn more on wikipedia
