The Biden Administration’s New Africa Strategy
September 20, 2022 | 10:00 am to 11:00 am | Africa Program
About the Event
The Biden administration published its long-awaited Strategy for Sub-Saharan Africa in August 2022. The strategy recognizes the critical role Africa plays in world affairs, and commits the United States to promoting democracy and economic development on the continent. Ambassadors Aurelia Brazeal, June Carter Perry, and David Shinn, along with Mr. Franklin Moore, a retired USAID senior official, will join Ambassador Charles Ray, chair of FPRI’s Africa Program, for a discussion on the new US policy towards sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on what has changed and what hasn’t from past administrations, and what the strategy portends for political and economic development on the continent.
