An informative business guide PDF Print
Written by Staff Reporters   

eBizguide Namibia is the new guide for foreign businesspeople. Its purpose is to give hindsight and provide facts to foreign businesspeople on Namibia, before they set foot into the Land of the Brave. The soft cover book contains over 300 pages and is highly informative. Its only short-coming is that the contents date back to the time before 2006. Hence the book presents incorrect information such as that the formation of the Regional Electricity Distributor (RED) is still pending, while all the REDs are in operation.

The book also speaks of a present electricity purchasing agreement between Namibia and South Africa going to expire in 2006, while in fact the agreement had already been renewed (in 2006) under new conditions.
Graphs, charts and other graphic indicators are only up to 2005. But since most African countries have outdated websites or no websites at all, the eBuzguide Namibia does become the only source of reliable information to foreign businesspeople.
While the facts may be outdated here and there, overall the book does give a clear guidance on Namibia' business climate, the levels of education, and government policy framework. It contains various interviews with the Ministers of Trade and Industries, Health and Social Services, Education, Mines and Energy. The forewords were by the former president of Namibia, Sam Nujoma and by President Hifikepunye Pohamba.
Besides being a business guide the book does also guide visitors on the best places to stay, the must-see attractions. These are all complemented by high-quality pictures taken around the country.
E-Bizguides is also produced for other countries such as Ghana, Sudan, Libya, Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, Angola, Gambia, Cameroon, Mozambique, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Syria. It is indeed the premier guidebook for business globetrotters.
The book is priced at €24 or about N$193.
