Résumé
More than half of the annual aid procurement market, worth an estimated $10 billion, is destined for Africa. Supporting African small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including businesses owned by women, to access this market has enormous potential for economic growth and development. Africa has a competitive and dynamic private sector, which is able to supply products and services of quality.

Launched in 2001, the Buying from Africa for Africa initiative has resulted in new business for African companies worth more than $70 million.
