Dear PSFU Member,
We are pleased to invite you to take part in the study tour to Egypt
that has the theme "Bench Marking for competitiveness in trade". This
tour seeks to expose how Egypt maximises its scarce resources to their
full potential so as to benefit from trade with COMESA and other countries.
With the Nile river as its only water supply where only 3% of its land
is arable, Egypt has managed to do agriculture to the tune of 20% of its
GDP and exports, and the sector employs over 34% of the working
population. Egypt occupies the first rank in the world with regard to
the yield of rice, tomatoes, sugar cane and cotton. As a member of
COMESA, Egypt has increased its trade with the COMESA region by 90%
since it joined. It has become a strategic player in the future of
Africa and is the leading importer of Kenyan tea.
In view of the above, the Institute of Trade Development, a trade
promotion organization within COMESA, is organizing this study tour to
be carried out in Alexandria, Cairo, Port Suez, Luxor and Aswan.
*Objective: *To expose Permanent Secretaries, Chief Executives, Senior
Managers in corporate planning, research, export departments, human
resources, procurement, marketing, finance, production, operation and
administration to various policies and practices of doing business which
have transformed Egypt into an emerging market. The other objective is
to enable the managers establish business networks with Egyptian companies.
*Sectors:*Agriculture, tourism, power generation, transport and ports
management
*Fee:*The fee is $ 5,500 per participant and is payable at least 2 weeks
before departure by a US$ bank draft or cheque. This will cover the
costs of facilitation, local transportation in Egypt; by road within
Cairo and other destinations of study by air.
*/The sponsoring organisation will meet the costs of air travel to Cairo
and back home, accommodation, meals and VISA charges at the Egyptian
Embassy. Medical insurance will also be covered by sponsor. /*
Please note that there is limited space available and it will be on a
first come first serve basis.
