In 1999, Celtel purchased a mobile license in Guinea for $750,000, which was not a small sum for this young company. But Celtel still needed to sort out some issues such as interconnection agreement and import duties. In 2001, these issues had not been solved yet.

The enactment was deliberately created for eligible countries to participate in trade opportunities and to export their products to the U.S markets with duty free privileges. The opportunity has developed a substantial amount of trade and investment between Sub-Saharan countries and the U.S. Subsequently, the Doing Business in Africa (DBIA); campaign took effect on November 2012. The campaign’s major goal was to connect American businesses with African partners, to support existing and new U.S investments in Africa.

The World Bank, of course, denies these claims. Stating that they were not funding this Villagisation program.
