Kenya is sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest producer of apparel – and AGOA is at the heart of that industry.

USAID, through the East Africa Trade and Investment Hub, is working closely with the cotton, apparel and textile industry in East Africa to address the binding constraints limiting growth -- identified as trade policy issues, workforce development and social welfare and safety standards.

The Hub will address these constraints through its cotton, textile, and apparel industry expansion initiative, which aims to create 45,000 jobs in the region over the next 3 years. The initiative will start in Kenya.
