The NEPAD Business Foundation, together with a leading publisher, have embarked on an exciting venture to publish the first annual official NEPAD Business Foundation (NBF) Business Guide. The launch issue will be distributed at the World Economic Forum Africa Summit to be held in Cape Town, in June 2007.

Through the invaluable focused network of businesses, governments, investors and non-government organisations, the NBF offers a unique business communication platform bringing like-minded parties together with a common goal of supporting business development across Africa.

The Business Guide aims to create interest in, discuss and expose business and investment opportunities in Africa. It offers authoritative and comprehensive information on a diverse range of industries and topics pertinent to the current growth and changing face of business in Africa – with emphasis on enhancing financial management discipline and good corporate governance.

The Guide is a powerful and invaluable resource for any organisation doing business in the African continent. It provides the necessary facilitation and guidance on how best to engage with key African stakeholders.

All stakeholders wishing to trade, partner or invest in Africa will have this ideal NBF business communication platform through which they can market their products and services to their specifically targeted audiences.

In essence, The Guide provides a comprehensive, current, interactive platform for doing business in Africa.

Our multi-media communications initiative will include an initial print run of 20 000 printed copies as well as 50 000 packaged CDs. The Guide will also be made available on the NBF website www.nepadbusinessfoundation.org.
