trade and export development
saibl provides support to black enterprises wanting to export their products or services to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the US markets and to other African markets.
The saibl methodology for preparing clients wishing to export and for providing support in matchmaking and aftercare has been very successful and has received acclaim from the dti’s trade representatives in New York, Chicago, and Washington. saibl is collaborating with the dti’s Export Marketing and Investment Assistance Scheme in supporting export-ready companies and works towards developing joint work plans in supporting trade development events.
As a saibl partner, the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is responsible for developing market channels for South African black suppliers into the United States, and for the development and implementation of the activities in terms of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). In addition, the Washington-based team organizes and implements inward and outward bound saibl trade missions, international study tours, and site visits to and from the United States.
