African Cargo & Logistics
Alliance
African Cargo and Logistics Alliance is a crystallized organization of some
visionary independent Freight Forwarders and Logistics Practitioners who want to
contribute their quota to the transformation and integration of the African
economy into the global economic grid otherwise known as globalisation.
It was based on the above and the co-incidental formation of the New partnership
for African Development (NEPAD) by the African Heads of State that we
capitalized on to start a wake up call, letting Africans know that there can
never be any meaningful development in Africa without building an intra-business
relationship among African countries and African Business Communities.
It is a common knowledge that African businessmen travel and do business in
Europe, Asia and the USA more than they do among African Countries, therefore we
must recognize the in-ward looking factor, which will help in sustaining the
foreign investment attractable to Africa, due to her good business environment
and large market.
As an import dependant continent, there is every need for Africa as a continent
to work hard to join the ever-growing global economy. Since we are professionals
that enhances the movement of goods and services we stand the greatest
opportunity of reaping the double benefits doing business at home and globally. |
