I am on my way to Ghana tomorrow morning and you just need to know that this Administration is very focused on doing all we can to promote economic development in this part of the world in Africa throughout Africa North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africa is also home to 400 million of the world's poorest people.
