Corporate Council on Africa (CCA)

A business member organization representing over 200 companies investing in Africa. Established in 1993, CCA is at the forefront of strengthening and facilitating the commercial relationship between the United States and the African continent. CCA members believe that Africa's future success depends upon the ability of its entrepreneurs and business people to create and retain wealth through private enterprise. CCA programs are designed to bring together potential business partners and raise Africa's investment profile in the US by developing critical contacts and business relationships and providing a forum for the exchange of information and ideas. CCA is based in Washington DC.

CCA provides saibl with the capacity to identify market opportunities in the US and to assist black enterprises in understanding and dealing with the business and regulatory demands of the US markets. CCA also acts as the host for black enterprises visiting the US.
