Since independence, Equatorial Guinea has attracted investment from U.S. companies. Top U.S. policy issues in Equatorial Guinea include good governance and democracy; the protection of human rights; and U.S. national security, especially access to energy resources. The United States seeks to encourage improved human rights, the development of a working civil society, greater fiscal transparency, and increased government investment in Equatorial Guinea’s people in areas such as health and education.
