About the USSABF
The U.S. – South Africa business forum was launched in September 2009, with the purpose of deepening economic ties between the United States and the Republic of South Africa. The forum was established through a partnership between The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) and Business Unity South Africa (BUSA).
CCA and BUSA serve as key facilitators in carrying out USSABF’s mission. Both parties identify areas of cooperation and work to address challenges confronting trade and investment between the two countries.
The USSABF has the following objectives;
-
To provide leadership on trade and investment policy issues
-
To advise business on significant legislative and policy developments in the U.S. and South Africa
-
To provide input into the U.S.-South Africa Strategic Dialogue and the consultative group on Trade and investment that was established in 2008 as part of the Trade, Investment Development and Cooperation Agreement between U.S. and SACU.
