Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies. Its rapidly-growing middle class–forecast to triple by 2030–represents a stronger labor pool and more purchasing power than ever before. Prosper Africa provides a comprehensive package of services that help U.S. businesses take advantage of these opportunities.
The Prosper Africa toolkit below features resources to help reduce the cost of doing business in Africa, including financing, loan guarantees, market intelligence, and more.
