OUR HISTORY
The Africa-USA International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AfUSA) is a non-profit, mutual benefit, business organization established to promote trade, commerce, education, and cultural development between the people and business enterprises of the United States of America and the nation states in Africa. We are now testing live webcasting streaming video provided byDennis Matthews see video box below
This box is black until live video is transmitted!
The AfUSA concept originated in 1987 when Los Angeles’ Mayor Tom Bradley and several academicians and business leaders determined that no realistic forum existed in the USA for the promotion of trade and investment between the United States and Africa.
After 5 years of research and development, the Chamber was formed in 1992.
AfUSA’s mission has been the achievement of objectives that develop an understanding and appreciation of Africa-USA business opportunities, encourage and facilitate mutual business investments between Africa and the USA, advocate African and US business interests and promote economic, cultural and human resource development.
AfUSA addresses and integrates the essential educational, cultural and service elements required for strong Africa-USA business development. We actuate our mission through programs that contribute to the development of an understanding and appreciation of Africa-USA business opportunities, encourage and facilitate mutual business investment between Africa and the USA, advocate African and US business interests, and promote economic, cultural and human resource development.
