The Resource Toolkit is a one-stop shop to help your business grow and enable you to build partnerships and access new opportunities to increase trade and investment between the United States and Africa. We provide a comprehensive catalog of private and public sector resources in a number of areas – financing, business innovations, market research, supply chain development, trade facilitation, etc. – which are useful to African and American companies doing business internationally.

For example, if you are a company that exports goods or services and you need assistance in finding financial resources that can support your efforts – working capital, risk protection, loans, etc. – please refer to the “Access to Finance” section on the “Private Sector Resources” page. Whether you are new to doing business in Africa or a seasoned veteran, you should also know that the U.S. Government offers a variety of resources to African and American companies. Please refer to the “U.S. Government Resources” section on the “Public Sector Resources” page to learn more about navigating available government resources.
