Education Market Brief - Sub-Saharan Africa Webinar
10/05/2023

About

Join the U.S. Commercial Service Global Education Team for an education market brief webinar focused on eight markets in Sub-Saharan Africa.  Sub-Saharan Africa consists of 49 countries and is in the process of integrating into the world’s largest free trade area. The region presents real opportunity for U.S. educational institutions, encompassing combined market population of over 1 billion people and GDP of more than $1.5 trillion. Rapid population and GDP growth will only increase this opportunity in the future, as the region is home to some of the fastest growing economies in the world.  The U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service (CS) is present in eight Sub-Saharan African countries (Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania) and has a team of country experts located at Commerce Department headquarters in Washington, DC.  During this webinar, you will learn about upcoming recruitment and partnership development opportunities in the region.
