Connect and empower Africa, with $376.3 million with FY 2017 funding, including support for Power Africa ($291.3 million). This will increase access to reliable, cleaner power for economic growth, as part of the Administration’s $300 million annual commitment. Against the U.S. Government’s Power Africa goal to add 30,000 megawatts (MWs) of power generation, USAID has supported transactions that may represent as much as 29,000 MWs, and helped facilitate the close of targeted transactions expected to generate 4,300 MWs. In FY 2017, Power Africa will reach 20 more countries with in-depth engagement and support. The budget also includes $75 million for Trade Investment Capacity Building, which will align, focus and expand current U.S. Government bilateral and regional trade programs in sub-Saharan Africa, and $10 million for the Young African Leaders Initiative, which will bring young African leaders to the United States for training and provide professional development activities for fellows once they return to the continent.
