American oil and gas companies, in particular, have a long tradition of being a force for good in Africa.

Instead of offering aid — which is a merely short-term fix that consistently fails to address the root causes of poverty in Africa — majors like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and General Electric have a legacy of empowering Africans.

Because of their investments in Africa, millions of African people have gained job skills that position them and their families for financial stability well into the future.

Because of the investments these companies have made in infrastructure, African communities have been able to deliver electricity to more people and lay the foundations for economic growth and diversification.

Has everything these companies have done been perfect?

No, of course not.

But their mistakes don’t negate the tremendous good they’ve done.

And now, with the economic toll the Covid-19 pandemic has taken in Africa, our countries need American investors willing to partner with us more than ever.

Africans need the well-paying job and training opportunities they can provide.

Indigenous African businesses need the partnership and knowledge-sharing opportunities they bring.

And African governments need the revenue that international oil companies’ (IOCs’) projects produce — not to maintain the status quo, but to invest in a new future. 🔗
