18. Client - IQPC Recommendation
“I came across Africa Business Communities
when we were organising our East African call
centre event. I was looking for some East African
specific LinkedIn groups and came across this
company as they managed many-many African
groups on LinkedIn. I approached Africa Business
Communities right away to see how they could
help us in promoting the event. Not only were
they very prompt in response but also helpful in
answering many queries. We generated revenue
close to US$15,000 for our event. Also, they offer
complimentary marketing services which is why I
utilise their services for every African event we
organise. I would highly recommend Africa
Business Communities to anyone looking to reach
out to the African market.”

16 January 2017 Presentation name34
Government statistics do not provide for a real picture
Jerven, a professor at Simon Fraser
University in Canada:
many of the numbers which are
circulated in official documents,
outside assessments and the media
are wrong.
“Many economic activities are
unrecorded.
With much of its economies informal,
many African countries have richer
citizens than statistics indicate.
Shanta Devarajan, Chief Economist for
the Africa Region of the World Bank,
speaks about the urgent need to
address the shortcomings of
development statistics...
