The
African Growth and Opportunity Act
President Clinton signed the African
Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) into law on May 18, 2000 as Title 1 of The
Trade and Development Act of 2000. The Act offers tangible incentives for 35
Sub-Saharan African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build
free markets. Cape Verde is one the beneficiary countries.
An AGOA implementation guide, in English and French, is
available at www.ustr.gov.
The definitive list of AGOA-eligible products has been
made public. The most updated information please visit the AGOA site at www.agoa.gov/index.html.
On February 10, 2003 an AGOA Information
Center was opened in Cape Verde at the Center for Tourism, Investment and
Export, PROMEX
