The eighth US-Sub-Saharan African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) forum that brought together policymakers, business leaders and civil society from the US and Africa ended in Nairobi on Thursday.
They had met to take stock of the successes, challenges and future prospects of the trade pact signed in May 2000. The forum received attention not just because it took place in Kenya, but also because this was the first time it was held in East Africa.
