Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton toured Africa last month. The trip focused on numerous policy issues including democracy and governance, economic growth, peace and security, and women’s empowerment. 

While on the continent, Secretary Clinton became the first U.S. Secretary of State to visit Malawi, swore in a new class of Peace Corps volunteers in Senegal, and visited with former South African President Nelson Mandela. Her stops in sub-Saharan Africa along the way included Senegal, South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin.
