pliance with section 104(a) of the African 
Growth and Opportunity Act (19 U.S.C.

Growth and Opportunity Act and identify opportuni-
ties and obstacles to increased trade and investment 
and enhanced poverty reduction efforts; 
(2) identify obstacles to regional integration 
that inhibit utilization of benefits under the African 
Growth and Opportunity Act;
