History
In
1947
the
“Conservative
West
Africa
Committee”
was
formed
and
was
originally
a
link
between
High
Commissions
in
West
African
countries
and
the
Conservative
Party.
News
of
political
and
commercial
developments
was
provided
to
the
committee
by
members,
businesses
and
visiting
Africans.
In
1995,
the
committee
with
the
full
support
of
the
Conservative
Central
Office
expanded
its
area
of
interest
to
include
other
sub-Saharan
countries. As a result, individuals and companies with Eastern and Southern African connections were invited to join.
In
1997,
it
was
decided
that
the
Committee
should
become
more
commercial
in
orientation
and
embrace
the
whole
of
Africa,
thus
reflecting
the
sweeping political and economic changes taking place on the continent as a whole.
In
2012
the
committee,
recognising
that
the
group
now
attracted
a
wider
audience
and
those
from
across
the
political
spectrum
changed
its
name to become the “Westminster Africa Business Group”.
