[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]ACS-UK TWIN Project (The TWIN Project) is a joint project ACS-UK and ACS-KENYA; ACS-UK is an award winning business and employment, training and consultancy Social Enterprise /NGO with branches both in the UK and Kenya.
The TWIN Project purpose is to provide a link between the UK businesses and public sector organisations to our African counterparts with the aim of promoting innovation and good practice through joint ventures.
Africa is an emerging economic superpower and many investors are now interested in investing in Africa more than ever before. The aim of this project is to prepare African continent for the economic boom and at the same time introduce the new markets to the new investors through a variety of initiatives.
The project therefore aims to alleviate some of the current challenges experienced by international trading partners of parity in technological advancement and quality of services.
This can be waived if a new approach of forming trading partners who can go beyond business and run other associated complimentary projects aimed at lack of win-win approach in which business is undertaken between buyers and sellers with buyers most times taking advantage of the seller for maximum profit.
The aim of this project is therefore to create an avenue for developing a long- term community- based win-win relationship between organisations and to create a mutual relationship that envisages shared values between the buyer and the seller.
This approach not only promotes mutual relationship but also guarantees a win- win situation where none of the partners feels exploited.
