INDUSTRY FOCUS
Logistics
Africa has no choice but to invest billions of dollars in logistical infrastructure and transport. Not only will the continent need massive infrastructure to support all levels of supply chain management, deregulation and bureaucratic processes must be limited to allow potential growth to manifest. Logistics such as ground, freight, air, shipping are untapped billions of dollars on the continent of Africa. As well as supply chain service industry to support the movement of products and goods. ACS assists construction and related industry companies in maximizing sustainable opportunities in logistics.
Aviation
Low cost markets with airlines operating from different African bases does not exist yet. Member states aviation transportation is one of the most expensive mode of transport on the continent of Africa. As a result, the African Union has launched the Single African Sky project.

It is ACS objective to optimize the opportunities being created through the Single Sky Project. We are also helping companies make cost effective decisions within the current climate of aviation transportation in Africa.
Agriculture
Africa is positioning agriculture as a business and entrepreneurship potential. With the average age of farmers 60 years or older, African governments have no option but to implement effective ROI mechanisms to attract its young population into agriculture. The value chain of agribusiness in Africa is one of the greatest opportunities in Africa enterprising. From land tenure, technology, equipment, brand & packaging development, are part of opportunities available within agribusiness value chain. Africa will be the global food basket with the right policies and private sector investment.

Infrastructure
As an emerging continent, Africa continues to borrow massively for infrastructure projects. Global powers such as France, India, Japan, China, UK, and United States have created infrastructure financing entities for competitive edge in building infrastructure projects on the African continent. Agyeman Consulting Services present infrastructure opportunities in demand areas such as mining, urban cities, and rural development. Africa’s regional and sub-regional integration depends heavily on effective infrastructure to accommodate regional and sub-regional competitive edge. The World Bank estimates that sub-Sahara Africa needs to spend $93 billion of new spending on infrastructure annually for the next 10 years. ACS will guide your Africa initiatives through complex and smooth moments.
Oil/Gas
According to a U.S Geological Survey Report in 2016, it is estimated that 41 billion barrels of oil and 319 trillion cubic feet of gas has yet to be discovered in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A country without an efficient health infrastructure is bound to collapse eventually. Unhealthy citizens equal unproductive citizens. Most importantly, efficiency in a country’s healthcare system open doors for health infrastructure optimization. This allow many jobs and innovation to be created. ACS believe efficient health infrastructure begins with the environment. Gone are the days where shipping malaria pills in bundles were a priority.
Today African countries are targeting efficiency in health infrastructure from environmental policies and regulations that are limiting the root causes of diseases in Africa. Countries such as Rwanda, Mauritius are yielding results in their respective capitals and other cities. Companies have an opportunity to help these respective countries achieve their infrastructure objectives. Health & Environment on the African continent is a major priority for ACS.
