ADC-USA Top 3 Focus Areas

Women & Girls

The fastest growing in start-ups and most educated in the United States is Black Women. In order to sustain the advancement of black excellence we must empower our African Women and Girls to become anything they want to be and helping to create the Africa we want to see.

Agriculture

Agriculture/Agribusiness in Africa is the biggest and most ancient way that the African Diaspora in connected to the continent. Utilizing the AfCFTA and AGOA the ADC-USA plans to advance the global supply chain of Africa with black communities of the United States.

Youth Jobs

Africa has the largest population of youth who will require the skills and opportunities to drive sustainable economic growth. Creating jobs and business opportunities in the non-traditional areas of science, entertainment, culture, and more will create generational wealth.

ADC-USA Flagship Program I "Partners 4 Progress"

Our Flagship Program is the actualization of the UNSDGs, the Agenda 2063 and the African Union call for the activation of the sixth region (the Diaspora) through the 2012 Amendment to the Constitutive Act and the mission of the African Diaspora Collective. The development of Africa also includes the development of its people, wherever they are. Thus, as the opportunities of America are opened to the African market with the increased willingness to partner and cooperate with African countries through the many programs of the US Biden-Harris Administration this office decided to create a bi-lateral exchange of partnership for those investors in Africa that want to invest in the United States!

Through the collective efforts of our partners and network of Ambassadors the Partners 4 Progress program aims to alleviate poverty, gender inequalities, create sustainable communities and supply chains with black communities in the United States, good local policy and governance and partnerships for the goals. This Flagship program will also improve the experience of the African Diaspora community on the continent through cooperation and on ground partnerships in African countries. This will allow us to create the bridge to their countrymen in the Untied States in order to create cultural competency for projects and programs for skills and knowledge transfer and direct foreign investment in the United States.

Registration is now open through 1 October 2022 for the ADC-USA "Partners 4 Progress" 2023 Cohort and please register below.
