Trade with Africa · AfCFTA

From the DMV to a continent, through Accra.

We empower Ghanaian and diaspora-owned businesses in the United States to trade with Africa. Working through Accra, the gateway to the continent and home of the AfCFTA Secretariat, we help members turn the African Continental Free Trade Area into real buyers, suppliers and partners.

Countries, one market

The AfCFTA links African economies into a single market for goods and services, phasing out tariffs on most goods.

The Accra – Washington corridor

Two capitals, one business community.

Members run companies on both clocks. A supplier call in Kumasi before lunch, a procurement meeting in Silver Spring after. The Chamber is built for that rhythm.
