Women farmers play a critical role in agricultural development and economic growth. @USAID’s investment in the Lobito Corridor will help to link women, smallholder farmers to value chains that will use the rail line as a critical component of the project’s sustainability.

U.S. investment in the Lobito Corridor—part of @POTUS’ global infrastructure initiative—will benefit all via equitable development. @PowerUSAID and I were thrilled to be the first senior 🇺🇸 officials to ride this train that will soon transform connectivity across Africa. @US_PGI

Thanks to the great team at the Fortress of São Miguel for a comprehensive site visit today. Breathtaking structure, impressive museum, yet a place with a dark past - an important reminder of the historical challenges that so many Angolans faced.
Angola has made big strides in fighting corruption in recent years and the country’s civil society has been critical to this progress. I joined a discussion with civil society leaders on how we build on this work to advance democratic governance and inclusive growth in 🇦🇴.
