The Africa Center (TAC) and the African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank) entered into a partnership to establish the Global Africa Gateway at the institution's homebase in Harlem, New York. Both institutions have the continent at the heart of their respective mandates and commit to engaging on issues that contribute to more effective interactions between the African continent and its wide diaspora. The Global Africa Gateway is a considerable step towards these goals, as the existence of such an entity within The Africa Center serves to significantly advance the work that TAC currently engages in to help build more resilient cultural and economic connections between the Diaspora and the continent, and provides a conduit for the Diaspora to positively impact Africa’s growth. Two current initiatives under the Global Africa Gateway include a Diaspora Research Study and an Internship Program that was launched in the summer of 2025.
