An East African odyssey – how Camusat plays to the strengths of four very different markets

With vast differences politically, culturally and technologically, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Malawi require a number of different services from fibre roll-out to tower construction. From humble beginnings, Camusat has focussed on organic growth in the region, building up to a significant base with over 450 staff working on sizeable projects. Emmanuel Fresco, Managing Director of Camusat’s East Africa business, talks us through these four distinct markets and assesses the opportunities and roadblocks which can be encountered working in each.
