On Tuesday, April 8, the American Chamber of Commerce in Ghana, along with the U.S. National Bar Association (NBA) President Wiley Adams, NBA AfCFTA Initiative co-chairs Barbara Simmons and Johanna LeBlanc, and other members of the delegation, paid a courtesy visit to the secretariat.

The meeting focused on strategic opportunities to exchange insights, explore collaboration, and gain a deeper understanding of AmCham Ghana’s initiatives. Discussions highlighted the Chamber’s key efforts to strengthen U.S.-Ghana business relations, attract investment, and position Ghana as a prime destination for international investors. The National Bar Association (NBA), the nation’s oldest and largest network of predominantly African American attorneys and judges, has signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat to support the effective implementation of the agreement. This landmark partnership reflects the NBA’s ongoing commitment to advancing economic empowerment, legal capacity, and investment opportunities across the African continent.

One of the key pillars of the MoU is to facilitate and encourage increased investments into Africa, aligning with the goals of the AfCFTA to create a unified, prosperous, and sustainable economic bloc.

This engagement marks a significant step in the NBA’s broader mission to serve as a bridge between the U.S. legal and business communities and the emerging opportunities on the African continent.
