The Business Information Highway project is a USAID supported initiative
that aims at disseminating business and economic information to
private Egyptian firms. Under BIC, AmCham has built an internet-based
network to link AmCham and other business associations in Egypt,
providing improved access to domestic and foreign business and trade
information for Egyptian Businesses.
Products and services provided by the BIH project play two distinct
but interrelated roles; the first is to increase the flow of knowledge
among Egyptian Businesses and the second is to act as a centralized
business and economic information system to serve both associations
and individual private firms.
The deliverables of the BIH project cut across several major USAID
strategic objectives namely:
- SO1: Accelerated private sector-led export oriented economic
growth and its intermediate results (IR13); increased exports
in targeted sectors, as well as
- SO16: Environment for Trade and Investment Strengthened, down
to the following intermediate results (IR 16.2) private sector
competitiveness increased and opportunities for business growth
enhanced
Furthermore, AmCham’s BIH project contributes to USAID’s
objective of enhanced Policy Reform Advocacy by providing accurate
information on existing business policies, regulations and implementation
procedures, which in return empower the private sector to develop
reform agendas and carry out policy dialogue activities more effectively.
BIH project activities include initiatives implemented by the Business
Information Center (BIC), the Business
Studies and Analysis Center (BSAC), and AmCham’s
Television Business Show “ The Indicator”
