Summary
This order amends a prior executive order to expand the President's Advisory Council on Doing Business in Africa. It raises the maximum number of private-sector corporate members from 15 to 26, increasing the council's size.
The change affects companies that serve on the council and the Commerce Department's work running it. The President says broader private-sector representation will better inform U.S. efforts to promote trade and investment between the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa.
