Description

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs is soliciting applications for a cooperative agreement to support the implementation of the Regional Economic Integration Framework (REIF) in the Great Lakes Region of Africa.

Objectives include improving transparency and licit trade, promoting trusted information and communication infrastructure, enforcing licit finance, and promoting responsible investment exemplified by U.S. investors.
