By: Regie Macalam

Africa is now on on the middle of transforming from a continent that defines the word uncivilized to a perfect business haven for investors. Together with the UN Development Program, more and more business owner are investing in Africa. This is not just to create money but also as an opportunity to help the place.

Even before recession sink its teeth to the world, most countries in Africa have been failing miserably to become a renowned business location. Particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, the kind of living was really scanty. A meal a day is almost like a ticket trying to win a lottery. Most infrastructures don't appeal as a good office or commercial space. But now, businesses will work as one to make Africa a bliss for investments. Through a well studied strategic planning and expert investment ideas, improvement is just there in a shouting distance, not on the nothingness of the deserts.

Studies also showed that developing countries has an increasing rate of mobile users, showing an indirect relation between business and communication. Thus, this will assure them of a capable business because of a wide range of promotion brought by effective communication. As a matter of fact, Nokia and Grameen Foundation combined to provide the rural areas of Africa with affordable communication services. This leap is called Village Phone Concept whereas they used microfinance as an innovative tool to create entrepreneurship. When introduce in Rwanda, Village Phone aims to create more than 3,000 small businesses within 3 years. While in Uganda, five thousand new businesses have been created since it was introduced in 2003.

This is just a proof that Africa is really firm to attain development, with the guidance of the very willing better countries. Efforts to make unification come to reality has happened in Africa, and still making a scene.

Business service providers also see Africa as a perfect business location because of its wealthy nature. Most African organizations are undergoing organizational transformation to count Africa as a home of business opportunity without risking their business status.
