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

The multimedia 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 www.nepadbusinessfoundation.org.

The guide will offer 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. It intends to provide the necessary facilitation and guidance on how best to engage with key African stakeholders.
