In 2005 in close collaboration with the US Embassy Cameroon and the State Department developed the Investment Forum: Projects & Finance. This is a yearly training program was focused on training African business people and government officials on how to develop and structure projects in addition to identifying financing for their projects. It also focused on promoting investment opportunities and establishing partnerships with US firms. Through these forums the AiC was responsible for influencing investments in Cameroon of over $500 Million.

 

“I believe that good economic management can make a contribution to poverty elimination, but only widespread strategically placed business investments made in the spirit of joint ventures and public/private sector partnerships can create sufficient wealth for African nations.”
