The Southern Africa Working Group, chaired by former US Ambassador to South Africa Princeton Lyman, responds directly to unique member requirements and interests in Southern Africa. The Working Group has charted an ambitious agenda for corporate engagement in the region. As its principal policy objective, the Southern Africa Working Group seeks to promote US-SADC relations and to enhance CCA involvement in those relations. The Group has explored key issues such as the HIV-AIDS pandemic, security issues in Angola and Zimbabwe, the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act, and regional trade and economic integration.
