The Meetings Program - CCA regularly holds programs and seminars with visiting African Ministers, members of the African private sector, U.S. Administration officials, members of Congress, US and African Ambassadors, and representatives of various multilateral agencies.

Policy Advocacy - With the goal of championing the role of the private sector in Africa's economic development, CCA works to stimulate dialogue on key African Affairs issues, and strengthen the voice of its members with important US and African policy makers. CCA liases with key Administration and Congressional offices on issues of interest to members, and closely monitors initiatives that impact African commercial relations.

It worked very closely with the White House and State Department in planning the business/commercial component of President Clinton's August 2000 trip to Nigeria.

Chaired by distinguished former Ambassadors, the Working Groups provide a forum for members to discuss policy issues that affect the investment and business climate in Africa.
