Tenth AGOA Forum is a time to assess U.S.-Africa trade

Florizelle Liser, the assistant U.S. trade representative for Africa, made that point in a July 23 interview with America.gov.

"Ten years ago when we put AGOA in place, I think we were clear that we wanted to provide more market access for Africa's valued-added products into America's market. We understood that was important and that there were some key sectors ... that would really stimulate growth in Africa. We have seen some of that growth," she said.
