About the USSABF
The U.S. – South Africa business forum was launched in
September 2009, with the purpose of deepening economic ties
between the United States and the Republic of South Africa.
The forum was established through a partnership between The
Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) and
Business Unity South
Africa (BUSA).
CCA and BUSA serve as key facilitators in carrying out
USSABF’s mission. Both parties identify areas of cooperation
and work to address challenges confronting trade and
investment between the two countries.
The USSABF has the following objectives;
-
To provide leadership on trade and investment
policy issues
-
To advise business on significant legislative
and policy developments in the U.S. and South Africa
-
To provide input into the
U.S.-South Africa Strategic Dialogue and the
consultative group on Trade and investment
that was established in 2008 as part of the
Trade, Investment Development and Cooperation
Agreement between U.S. and SACU.
