Mauritius Mauritius TradeNetTradeNet –– BeginningsBeginnings
• An extensive analysis was carried out by the public authorities in Mauritius
• Adopted the Singapore TradeNetas a model
• Following detailed system studies and intensive industry discussions, it was evident that a Value-Added Network (VAN) operator is needed to operate the TradeNet and other IT Communications services.
• The VAN would be a tripartite joint venture company involving public and private sector representatives and a foreign technical partner. It would also operate autonomously and has to be self sustainable in the long run.
• The Mauritius Network Services Ltd. was incorporated on 15th April 1994 as a private company.

Ghana Ghana Community Network Community Network –– BeginningsBeginnings
• An Inter- Ministerial Gateway Oversight Committee was set up to oversee the this ambitious initiative.
• After review of proposals from various software and systems integrators, Crimsonlogic was invited to provide the EDI system, having earlier successfully transferred this technology to Mauritius
• It was, however, not prepared to commit investment funds directly for the development of the EDI. Development funds was assumed by SocieteGeneral de Surveillance S.A. (SGS), which played the role of the strategic investor and lead technical partner.
• Ghana also adopted the Customs Management System that was designed for Mauritius and that was smoothly interfacing with the initial TradeNet from Singapore.
• As part of the arrangements, a new company was created and charged with the implementation of both the TradeNet and the Ghana Customs Management System (GCMS). This company was given a de facto Build Own and Operate (BOO) contract.
