Business results will not be adequately reflected in the value of the shares unless there is high-quality communication with investors. It is within this context that the African Union Commission prepared this Business Directory to facilitate contact among businesses within and outside the continent. This Directory is essentially produced for international exporters, importers, manufacturers, traders and merchants looking to establish contacts with their business counterparts and importers in Africa. It is also aimed at promoting direct contacts between African businesspeople and prospective international partners by providing useful information on various segments of the African economy. There is no doubt that this Directory will be an instrument in promoting trade and investment within the continent and between Africa and the rest of the world. It will provide African businesses the opportunity to explore new sources of supply while at the same time providing overseas companies with an excellent opportunity to identify partners with whom to work to promote their products and services on the continent. More importantly, it is a handbook for doing business and a relevant tool for those active in business on the African continent. It is my hope that with the availability of this important tool, large and small businesses will take advantage of it to improve the operations of their enterprises. As support programs evolve, with new programs emerging and some closing, the Directory will similarly be revised annually in order to present the most up-to-date information. It is therefore my pleasure to offer, on behalf of the African Union Commission, this important information for businesses within and outside the continent. We encourage all users, both small and large businesses, to make full use of the directory and inform others about its existence. 3 4 The African Union is rapidly increasing its partnerships with global regional and leading country partners, while simultaneously developing and promoting strategic sector plans for inclusive and catalytic growth in important economic areas such as: agriculture, mining, infrastructure and manufacturing. At the same time, the continent’s supreme policy making body is also becoming more and more of an advocate for domestic private sector growth and seeking to pursue greater public-private sector collaboration and to stimulate increased intra-African trade and investment. To support these efforts, this inaugural African Union Business Directory is intended to serve as a useful reference for both public sector policy-makers ad private sector decision makers, within Africa, and outside of Africa. The aim is to help familiarize readers with key AU policies, the goals and structure of key AU partnership initiatives, and to provide contact information on key private sector enterprises (both domestic and multinational) across Africa. THE publication’S structure includes FIVE KEY sections Section 1 – Africa’s Expanding Economy provides an overview of some of the developments in Africa that make the continent one of the leading global investment destinations for the future: a population that will more than double by

  • BUILDING from SCRATCH: New Cities, Privatized Urbanism and the Spatial Restructuring of Johannesburg After Apartheid
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF URBAN AND REGIONAL RESEARCH 471 DOI:10.1111/1468-2427.12180 — BUILDING FROM SCRATCH: New Cities, Privatized Urbanism and the Spatial Restructuring of Johannesburg after Apartheid claire w. herbert and martin j. murray Abstract By the start of the twenty-first century, the once dominant historical downtown core of Johannesburg had lost its privileged status as the center of business and commercial activities, the metropolitan landscape having been restructured into an assemblage of sprawling, rival edge cities. Real estate developers have recently unveiled ambitious plans to build two completely new cities from scratch: Waterfall City and Lanseria Airport City ( formerly called Cradle City) are master-planned, holistically designed ‘satellite cities’ built on vacant land. While incorporating features found in earlier city-building efforts, these two new self-contained, privately-managed cities operate outside the administrative reach of public authority and thus exemplify the global trend toward privatized urbanism. Waterfall City, located on land that has been owned by the same extended family for nearly 100 years, is spearheaded by a single corporate entity. Lanseria Airport City/Cradle City is a planned ‘aerotropolis’ surrounding the existing Lanseria airport at the northwest corner of the Johannesburg metropole. These two new private cities differ from earlier large-scale urban projects because everything from basic infrastructure (including utilities, sewerage, and the installation and maintenance of roadways),

  • Directory of Agricultural R&D Agencies in 31 African Countries
    sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty Supported by the CGIAR ASTI Directory of Agricultural R&D Agencies in 31 African Countries April 2011 ABOUT ASTI The Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) initiative compiles, processes, and disseminates data on institutional developments and investments in worldwide agricultural R&D, and analyzes and reports on these trends. Tracking these developments in ways that facilitate meaningful comparisons among different countries, types of agencies, and points in time is critical for keeping policymakers abreast of science policy issues pertaining to agriculture. The main objective of the ASTI initiative is to assist policymakers and donors in making better informed decisions about the funding and operation of public and private agricultural science and technology agencies by making available internationally comparable information on agricultural research investments and institutional changes. Better-informed decisions will improve the efficiency and impact of agricultural R&D systems and ultimately enhance productivity growth of the agriculture sector. The ASTI initiative is managed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and involves collaborative alliances with many national and regional R&D agencies, as well as international institutions. The initiative, which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with additional support from IFPRI, is widely recognized as the most authoritative source of information on the support for and structure of agricultural R&D worldwide. ASTI data and associated reports are made freely available for research policy formulation and priority-setting purposes (http://www.asti.cgiar.org). ABOUT IFPRI The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI®) was established in 1975 to identify and analyze alternative national and international strategies and policies for meeting food needs of the developing world on a sustainable basis, with particular emphasis on low-income countries and on the poorer groups in those countries.

  • Copy of Phd Thesis Final Submission for Library
    Chapter 3: THE MAIN ACTORS IN THE NIGER DELTA CRISIS INTRODUCTION In addressing the primary concern of this study, it is pertinent to point out at the outset that the internationalisation of the Niger Delta crisis has been facilitated by certain actors within the context of globalisation in which case events in any one country are not only seen in farthest regions of the world but also elicit international reactions. The actions or inactions of the Nigerian state, the oil multinationals, social movements in the Niger Delta as well as those of international non-governmental organizations have pushed the Niger Delta crisis to the forefront of international environmental discourse. This chapter focuses on the role of the different actors (in consciously or inadvertently) placing the Niger Delta on the front burner of international environment and human rights advocacy. It is instructive to note here that an examination of the activities of the main actors in the Niger Delta is germane to unpacking the internationalisation of an otherwise local crisis. The recession of realpolitik after the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s threw up new issues hitherto regarded as ‘low’ areas in international politics. One of such new issues is the emergence of environmental issues in world politics and its implications for global security. This concern about security has expanded to include issues like migration, poverty, wars, environmental degradation and drug trafficking.66 It is within this context that one can conveniently locate the global attention which the Niger Delta has received in recent times. The Niger Delta crisis in Nigeria arose out of the impact of oil exploration and production on the environment and eco-system with its resultant effect of retrogression rather than development of the local people in the areas.

Cameroon became an independent, sovereign nation in 1960 and a united one (when East and West Cameroon were united) in 1961.2 Cameroon has a population of over 22 million people.
