MASDAR

MASDAR continued its 'winning streak' and won a further M&E assignment in Malawi with the Smallholder Crop and Marketing Project.  This is in addition to the recently awarded $1.3 million marketing study for SCPMP and the £3.6 million extension to the DFID-funded Regional Hunger and Vulnerability Programme in Southern Africa.  Both new assignments have now been mobilised.

Currently we are working in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania and The Gambia.  It is thus clear that the focus of our activities has moved back to Africa which is where the company started over 30 years ago.

MASDAR is undertaking a major marketing initiative in Nigeria in support of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture's National Food Security Programme.  We would like to hear from you if you have extensive experience in any aspect of Nigerian Agriculture and would be interested in returning to work in Nigeria.

eMapSite, our on-line mapping company is experiencing a period of rapid growth and expansion.  Projected turnover for 2008 is £2.5 million and market penetration has been excellent.   We are delighted to report that eMapSite has just won the "Most Innovated Service Award " from Ordnance Survey.  This prestigious award puts eMapSite at the very forefront of internet mapping in the UK.  Please visit their website www.emapsite.com for further details.

AgriVisual, the specialist media company within the MASDAR Group continues to fight the war against Poverty of Information which we believe is a major handicap to the social, economic and political development in many countries in Africa. 

The most effective weapon in this war against Poverty of Information is the AV DRUM 21 mobile communication unit, which can be seen on their website www.agrivisual.com
