During the recent visit of H.E. President Kenyatta to the United States, the U.S. and Kenyan Government announced the launch of talks aimed at establishing a free trade agreement (FTA) between the two countries. If successful, it would be the first U.S. FTA with a sub-Saharan African nation and potentially a model the United States will use to enhance its trade and investment relationship with the nations of Africa. A Kenya-U.S. FTA would build on the success Kenya has experienced in producing and exporting a range of value-added products to the U.S. market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), while enhancing two way trade, strengthening commercial cooperation, and spurring investment into key sectors. 

The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) in partnership with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) are hosting a roundtable discussion with Kenyan and U.S. government officials and business leaders to explore how the private sector can support this bilateral effort and take full advantage of investment and trade opportunities that will arise from a Kenya-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.
