Engineering & consulting firms
Your activities

What you do

  • Carry out technical, economic and environmental feasibility studies
  • Design processing units, infrastructure and agricultural developments
  • Supervise construction and monitor works through to acceptance
  • Produce market studies and value-chain analyses that support decisions
  • Help promoters assemble their files for lenders and investors
Your role in the value chain

You take the intentions of promoters, cooperatives, industrial companies, local authorities and development partners and turn them into technically sound, financially documented projects. You deliver studies, drawings, specifications and construction supervision to contractors, equipment suppliers and funders. You secure the bankability of projects and the compliance of the works, and you unlock investment in processing and logistics, the decisive links of the Produce – Process – Export chain that most often fail for want of proper engineering.

Where are you found?

Engineering firms are based in Yaoundé and Douala, close to government departments, funders and corporate head offices. They work nationwide: irrigation and drainage schemes in the North and Far North, processing units in the West and Littoral, plantations in the South-West, access infrastructure in the East and Adamawa.

Your place in the ecosystem

Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa

The industrialisation of Cameroon’s value chains calls for well-designed projects: correctly sized units, sound process choices, compliance with sanitary and environmental standards, economic viability. Engineering and consulting firms bring this rigour and reduce the risk of failure that deters funders. They are the counterparts of banks, funds and development partners that require serious studies before committing resources. In Central Africa, where technical expertise is unevenly distributed, they contribute to skills transfer, to the quality of rural infrastructure and to the emergence of processing units able to serve CEMAC markets.

Join the XP-NOVA directory

Your listing in three steps

The directory is not a mere listing: each profile is positioned within the architecture (sub-domain, actor, value chain), checked by XP-NOVA, then published. You keep control of your profile after publication.

  1. The form

    You enter your organisation, your position in the architecture — pre-filled from this page —, your value chains, your area of operation and your contact details. Your profile is created as pending and you receive your access.

    Start my registration
  2. Verification by XP-NOVA

    The XP-NOVA team reviews your profile: consistency of the position in the architecture, reality of the declared activity, completeness of the information. If there is a reservation, the reason is sent to you and you can complete.

  3. Validation and publication

    Once validated, your profile is published in the directory available to members, under your actor code. You update it from your area: contact details, logo, capacities, description.

A word from XP-NOVA

To engineering firms and peers: co-building the value chains

Structuring Cameroon's value chains is too vast an undertaking for a single player. XP-NOVA works in co-contracting with the engineering and consulting firms that share the same standard: rigorous deliverables that meet funders' requirements.

Join our assignments: shared methodologies, common frameworks, and access to the codified data of the value-chain mapping through our API.
