The dynamic region of Sub-Saharan Africa encompasses 47 countries and is supported by a 6.5 percent increase in the region’s GDP this year, a booming population of over 700 million, an emerging consumer class and the development of internal infrastructure.

Dow’s strategic presence in Sub-Saharan Africa includes the head office located in Johannesburg, two manufacturing sites, five commercial offices and many warehouses.

Dow’s commitment to improving the quality of life in communities in which it operates is shown through the Company’s Corporate Citizenship initiatives in the region. Dow has led numerous programs in South Africa and has funded trial programs with international aid in Ghana to ensure that its new and improved bio-sand filtration system is more efficient and easily accessible to the rural areas that need it the most.
