Africa-wide, as part of the \u201cProsper Africa\u201d initiative.\nValued at up to $ 500 million over five years, depending on the availability of funds, \u201cthis flagship program will provide new and expanded support services to dramatically increase bilateral trade and investment between Africa and Africa. the United States, \u201dsays USAID.\nThe program will provide coordinated services in line with private sector needs &#8220;through a continent-wide approach, with satellite offices supporting North and Sub-Saharan Africa.&#8221; It will also complement other tools available to the US government for trade and investment with personalized services, ranging from business advice and transaction facilitation to targeted policy interventions.\n\u201cFor every dollar of public funds, Prosper Africa should raise more than 9 dollars in private investment; which will provide billions of dollars in exports and investment and create hundreds of thousands of African and American jobs by 2026, &#8220;the US agency said.\nThe launch of this new program will take place early in 2021. It is expected to advance the goals of &#8220;Prosper Africa&#8221; \u200b\u200bby increasing trade, stimulating investment and supporting favorable conditions for business.\nFor John Barsa, \u201cThis is not just a new program.
