Introduction

As we welcome the new year of 2014, now is a good time to reflect on the past, present and future of Kharafi National. Some of you will remember that I am not new to Kharafi National, and although this dynamic organization has grown steadily over the years, it has always remained true to its core values, vision, mission and goals. This has been chiefly due to the dedication, commitment and skills of its most valued asset, its staff. Kharafi National has always prided itself on the excellent capabilities of its employees and senior managers who have propelled it into becoming one of the leading and most respected companies in the region over the last forty years.

Early in November 2013, I was asked by the owners of Kharafi National to step in as the Chairman and CEO of the company. The owners of Kharafi National, a privately-held company, have always agreed upon and executed a successful, proven method of management which has resulted in the superior reputation Kharafi National has earned among its peers and the regional business community over the years. In order to retain this focus and with a further aim of achieving the goals Kharafi National has set for itself, my vision for the future of Kharafi National will be to maintain the values and beliefs that have been instrumental in the growth of the company.

Therefore, despite the recent management changes, the vision and mission of Kharafi National to fulfill its goals going forward into the future remains unchanged. With the support of every member of staff, from manual labourers to senior managers, working together for the realization of their common goals, the company will achieve more successes and set more standards of excellence in the years to come.

With the help of the company’s directors, I am presently in the process of establishing a lean and effective, functional management to oversee the daily operations of the company. I will communicate with you frequently and provide updates on the measures being adopted for the smooth running of the organization.

I also wish to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our owners, senior managers, and manual and non-manual employees for their dedicated service to Kharafi National over the last four decades that has transformed Kharafi

National from its humble beginnings into a well known and respected industry name in the region and beyond today.

I look forward to working closely with each and every one of you to ensure the continued success and growth of Kharafi National in the years to come.

Wishing us all a happy and prosperous 2014 and many more years to come.

Infrastructure Project Development (IPD) is the development side of the Kharafi National business which is responsible for putting together the complete package of financing, design, construction and operation/maintenance of major projects that are undertaken on a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT), build-own-operate (BOO), build-operate-transfer(BOT) or public-private-partnership (PPP) basis.

The vertical integration of these activities has changed Kharafi National’s traditional role from that of a contractor to one of an operational investor whereby we take full responsibility of infrastructure projects.

IPD activities are focused in several market sectors including water, wastewater, power, district cooling and solid waste management.

The worldwide BOT/BOO experience of IPD management and staff assures that the commercial and technical solutions for each project will result in an acceptable risk profile to both lenders of debt and investors of equity. Kharafi National persistently cooperates with internationally renowned professional advisors and developers to support the realization of these projects.

As the leading operational investor in the region we are the developer of choice for equity partners, lenders and technology suppliers.

Kharafi National is looking to export its capabilities to areas of great potential mainly developing countries in Africa and the Middle East where it KN has a competitive advantages.

North Africa

Following the Arab Spring where there have been tremendous changes, we expect positive developments in terms of local and international investments in the private and public sector for PPP and BOT schemes to finance Consumer Infrastructure. Egypt, where Kharafi National is already established, serves as the company’s center for procurement and engineering and as a base to pursue and deliver projects in Africa. Kharafi National’s track record provides KN with a unique and strong position to deliver the infrastructure requirements in other post revolution countries in North Africa such as Libya and Tunisia.

Sub Saharan Africa

Kharafi National is exploring the opportunities to establish itself in the Sub Saharan region of Africa and work with local companies and governments to develop infrastructure projects including power and water. With the growing population in the Sub Saharan continent and increasing requirement to provide developed social and consumer infrastructure, Kharafi National has already taken its first step by establishing a base office in the Republic of South Sudan.

In the next decade the newly proclaimed state of South Sudan will require unprecedented development in all sectors providing opportunities for investments that will allow the landlocked country to head towards being self sufficient and free from the current economic dependence on neighboring countries.

Kharafi National aims at developing social infrastructure projects to meet the local community requirements mainly on PPP basis. With the company’s capabilities and skills, Kharafi National is aiming to take further steps and develop various community services, training and developmental centers within the scope of the projects to provide not only the project but to couple this with a development strategy that will facilitate knowledge transfer to local communities and employment opportunities.

To meet this goal in the Sub Saharan region, Kharafi National’s newly established office in Juba will service Eastern Africa. KN is currently evaluating the establishment of a similar facility in Angola to support Angola’s infrastructure requirement and meet the needs of neighboring West African nations.

New Markets

KN is starting to export its services to niche markets by leveraging an agile structure and strong EPC and O&M CV of experience.

As a company, Kharafi National is targeting developing countries that have unexploited natural resources and that have great requirements to develop their social and industrial infrastructures. These requirements are aligned with KN’s capability to provide these markets with the above in record time.
