The Board is charged with providing advice on the negotiation of EAI — and now also TFCA — agreements and on the establishment of local funds and boards. The Board is composed of eight public sector members and seven private sector members, who serve at the request of the President. Government representatives on the board are the Department of State (Chair), Treasury, Agriculture and the Interior, USAID (vice-chair), Environmental Protection Agency and the President’s Council on Environmental Quality. Private members are appointed by the President.
EAI/TFCA Secretariat
USAID hosts a small EAI/TFCA Secretariat. The Secretariat supports the EAI Board and facilitates the implementation of EAI and TFCA agreements and management of local funds established under the agreement.
