The primary mission of the Advisory Council is to provide counsel
to the President on enhancing the connections between the United States
Government and the African Diaspora within the United States, aligning
with the objectives outlined in the U.S. Strategy Toward Sub-Saharan
Africa.
The activities of the Advisory Council encompass strategies to
advance equity and opportunity for African Diaspora communities, ways
to support the United Nations' Permanent Forum on People of African
Descent, programs and initiatives to strengthen cultural, social,
political, and economic ties between African communities, the global
African Diaspora, and the United States, and programs and initiatives
to increase participation of members of the African Diaspora in the
United States with regard to trade, investment, economic growth, and
development programs relating to Africa. Established in accordance with
Executive Order 14089, the Advisory Council operates under the
administrative authority of the Secretary of State and under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act.
This announcement might appear in the Federal Register less than 15
days prior to the meeting. The Department of State finds that there is
an exceptional circumstance in that this advisory

committee meeting must be held on October 30, due to the schedules of
senior officials whose attendance is required.
