NESG sees a business case for a massive road infrastructure and investment program for the following reasons: Significant job creation Opens up the economy for the development of new towns Access to markets for farmers More efficient logistics for distribution of goods and services Safer movement of people Our prayer is to support government in assessing the feasibility of this initiative by Q1, 2012 Road Infrastructure Program 9

Strategies to attract FDI in 2012 Co-host sector and regional investor fora in-country for sectors with developed roadmaps NESG will partner with government agencies (Ministry of Trade and Investment (MTI), NIPC, etc.) in areas of agriculture and solid minerals Will target investors across the entire value chain Equip foreign missions to support the investment promotion process in partnership with MTI NESG will partner with MTI to provide visibility of investment opportunities in spite of risks 10

In Conclusion We acknowledge the efforts made by some ministries to design clear roadmaps for their sectors and the need to replicate this in other critical sectors A wide range of FDI opportunities have been identified to focus our implementation drive We need to learn how to market the fact that our opportunities far outweigh the risks involved We need to get the commitment of the civil service to translate plans to action 15
