# West Africa Trade Hub

West Africa Trade Hub is an online platform of the West Africa Trade and Investment Hub program funded by USAID and aimed at developing trade and investment in West African countries. The website westafricatradehub.com provides information about the initiative's activities, its mission and main areas of work <https://westafricatradehub.com/>

The program aims to support the private sector, in particular small and medium-sized businesses, by facilitating access to international markets, promoting exports and attracting investment. The initiative provides information on cooperation opportunities, training resources for entrepreneurs and business consultations on certification standards and trade rules.

The site contains sections describing the project partners of the program and participating countries, as well as news, events and special resources for business. An important element of the activity is the section dedicated to the African Growth and Opportunity Act AGOA, which helps African producers gain preferential access to the US market.

West Africa Trade Hub also contributes to the development of trade infrastructure, optimization of logistics routes and increasing the efficiency of customs procedures. The program is implemented by a consortium of organizations led by Creative Associates International and other partners working in the region.
