1 PROJECT DATABASE FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICAN COUNTRIES Prepared by Africa Project Access October 2013

2 Guide to Using the Africa Project Database 1. Africa Project Access provides two essential back-up services to the Projects supplied to subscribers via the Africa Project Database. In order to streamline the usage of these services, subscribers are kindly requested to refer to the Date and Description of each Project concerned. (There is therefore no need for an elaborate numbering system.) 2. The first service relates to contact persons for individual Projects carried. Most of the Project inserts include Contacts. These are contact persons who either know of the Project directly or who should be able to guide the enquirer in the right direction. In a few cases, where no contact person is provided, this is because the Project has originated from our associates and we therefore do not have direct knowledge of the Project. Nevertheless, the subscriber is most welcome to contact Africa Project Access directly (tel , fax , [email protected]) and we will undertake a search for an appropriate contact. It must be understood that communications systems in much of sub-saharan Africa leave much to be desired and data may change very quickly. Personnel in government institutions, utilities, companies etc also change frequently. Thus if the subscriber is not getting through, he or she should follow the procedure in The second service pertains to additional detail on the Project itself. Any formal publication (especially in the environment in which we operate) will be limited in that background intelligence relating to a Project may be difficult to publish in a multiuser system and may only be transmitted verbally. If a subscriber is particularly interested in a specific Project and feels that additional detail is required, he or she is welcome to contact Paul Runge at Africa Project Access who may or may not be in a position to provide additional intelligence, (as opposed to formal information.) It should be remembered that time is the most important factor in that subscribers wish to know of a Project as early as possible even before all the details are known. This is why we are sometimes brief and why we include Updates on some Projects. Note: Our service is not intended to fulfil the role of our some 200 subscribers, (mainly Business Development and Export Managers.) We provide only the initial leads, whereafter it is up to the subscriber to delve into the Project and secure the business. We can however suggest specialists who can assist further down the Project cycle with issues such as financial packaging, bid and performance bonds etc. 1
