Activity Description:

Multi-M is a pharmaceutical company distributing high quality generic drugs at affordable prices and currently operating in Africa. Operation began in Mali at the end of 1998 and by 2003 had expanded to Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and Niger, with five warehouse locations serving over one thousand customers.

Products cover the entire pharmacological range and include all presentation forms: tablets, capsules, dry suspensions, syrups, solutions, ampoules, vials, IV-solutions, bags, crèmes, ointments, eye drops and lozenges. The medicines are tested by an independent Swiss laboratory. Due to poor transportation infrastructure, Multi-M often arranges distribution by its own means.

Activity Description: The International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) is an independent, non-profit organization that assists developing countries to realise locally-owned, sustainable development, by harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs). IICD works with its partner organisations in (currently nine) selected countries, helping local stakeholders to assess the potential uses of ICTs in development.
