OUR STORY

Cross Country Management Inc (CCM) facilitates the search for advantageous partnerships between International Organizations and West African Businesses and Government Agencies.

CCM aims to do this by providing a platform for African governments and businesses to communicate among themselves their needs that will result in the creation of jobs, economic activity, transfer of skills, saving of costs, reduction of poverty, etc…


We welcome contributions on economic issues affecting development in Africa. Requests placed on the web site may deal with any aspect of economy with respect to Africa as a whole or individual nation within the continent.


Cross Country Management Inc was set up in 2005 for people committed to African development seeking to share and explore ideas on economic development.

Some people may say that what Africa needs right now is action and not words or ideas. This sentiment is understandable. However, Africa’s current distress is caused as much by a poverty of ideas and vision as by poverty of the physical conditions for development. A pre-requisite for evolving effective economic and political policies to underpin momentum for change in Africa is a critical analysis of African societies in the context of a fast changing globalized world.

Our main objectives are:

  • To promote and expand the market for West Africa.
  • Develop and perform activities that promote trade and increase the competitiveness of the West African Government and business sectors, for instance, the expansion of production bases in West Africa.
  • Build a positive image of African business and government projects
