ABSTRACT

Increasingly, the global business community is viewing sub-Saharan Africa as a continent of rich business, trade and investment opportunities. A major challenge to political and business leaders is access to accurate and time-critical information on business, economic, political and social developments in the sub-Saharan African countries. This resource guide will provide an organized collection of major African business and economic information resources available via the Internet. Additionally, it includes a selection of information sources available in print format the Library of Congress. The information on Internet sites originates from multiple Internet-based sources, including African commercial and government agencies, U.S. commercial and government agencies, and international organizations engaging in economic, business, and trade issues in the sub-Saharan African countries.
