Africa Trade Expansion Program

The Africa Trade Expansion Program is a comprehensive export development program designed as a special intervention to assist Africa’s exports into the Americas market and to enhance the utilization of African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

The program was developed under the auspices of the World Trade Center Miami and now being implemented by CITD-Miami, a related party, in collaboration with other economic development agencies and industry professionals.

The specialized 12 months program provides integrated Technical Assistance and Market Access to African manufacturers in three key sectors — Food & Beverage, Fashion (Apparel & Accessories), and Arts & Crafts, from design to delivery.

Through this unique program, CITD-Miami offers technical partnership and a proven solution to African governments and other stakeholders who are committed to addressing the numerous challenges limiting their exports into the Americas marketplace.

The issue has never been non-availability of market or lack of export opportunities. The challenge has always been our readiness and our preparedness to respond to where and what the demand is at the global market. —Kemi Arosanyin, Center Director

This solution-based program offers the following key benefits:

  • Facilitates market entry for value-added products into the Americas market (North America, South America and the Caribbean)
  • Increases market outreach beyond the United States to neighboring Caribbean countries.
  • Provides training, capacity building, skill transfer and strong multiplier effect on small businesses
  • Drives effective implementation of economic development policies
  • Supports regional and global export growth strategy


CITD-Miami is in partnership with some of the finest professionals, industry experts, consultants, and trade organizations in the United States for the implementation of the program.
