On December 16th, the American Chamber of Commerce in Côte d’Ivoire (AmCham CI) hosted a private lunch at Abidjan Café Restaurant in Plateau. It was a Year End thank you gathering with the Platinum members and representatives of the US Embassy.
The topics of conversations were focused on the AMCHAM CI accomplishments in 2021 as well as AmCham’s Vision, Mission, and Strategy for 2022. It was an informal platform for members to discuss what they expected from their organization and also what they would like to see in the coming year 2022; ideas were shared also on strategies to adopt to make the AmCham sustainable and more relevant in the years ahead. Representatives of the US Embassy POL COL secession Ms. Andrey Donnally expressed the willingness for more involvement from the US Embassy. This engagement coupled with new enrolments of members, more enthusiasm, and a precise events calendar should create a bigger footprint for US private sector presences.
