Across all East African Countries, there are many opportunities for those who are willing to come down, register businesses locally, and start offering Engineering, Procurement and Construction services as long as they can also bring along finance.
The best market entry strategy is to identify honest locals in East Africa who are in the same field, partner with them and register a local company.
Partnering with a good reliable local company is important because most Governments in Sub-Sahara Africa are nowadays strict on local content. If a firm has some local shareholders, puts in place good management, employs locals on attractive terms & conditions, gives staff good training, pays Government & local taxes in time and very important, if it aims at providing a quality service, success is realized in a short time. Reason such a business venture becomes very attractive and makes money in Africa is because most times quality services have little or no competition. Consumers in Africa yearn for quality services but they struggle to get them and that is why, if a smart business person brings quality near, it becomes a win win for all (business owner and consumers)
