Services

From Oversight to Execution

Clearly scoped on-the-ground coordination of approved project activities, milestones, professionals and reporting.

BOWestAfrica Project Management — local coordination, clear communication, better oversight.

What It Is

What Project Management Means

Project Management goes beyond monitoring — BOWestAfrica coordinates the local execution of your project directly, managing contractors, timelines and logistics so you don't have to run it from a distance yourself.

Distance creates a visibility gap

Your Trusted Eyes on the Ground

Distance should not mean sending money, trusting promises or making important decisions without knowing what is actually happening. BOWestAfrica helps diaspora members independently verify information, monitor projects and, where specifically agreed, coordinate local execution in West Africa.

  • We verify before you commit.
  • We monitor before you assume.
  • We document what is happening.
  • We report directly to you.
  • We coordinate only within an agreed scope.

Your money remains your decision. Your project remains your project. Our role is to help you see clearly, act with better information and stay connected to what is happening on the ground.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference from Project Supervision?

Supervision monitors and reports on a project run by others. Project Management means our team actively coordinates the agreed execution.

What types of projects qualify?

Construction, business setup, agriculture and similar on-the-ground ventures — reach out with your specifics.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is scoped per project based on complexity and duration. The management fee is separate from contractor, supplier, materials and other project costs unless a written agreement expressly says otherwise.

Can your team handle more of the day-to-day administration for me?

Yes. A more hands-off arrangement can be defined under a separate written project agreement, including agreed approval limits and responsibilities. Any client-fund administration or third-party payment service will only be offered where the required legal, accounting and payment controls are in place and may carry an additional administration fee.

What does Project Management mean at BOWestAfrica?

When supervision alone is not enough, selected projects can receive deeper coordination under a written agreement. You remain the project owner; BOWestAfrica coordinates only the responsibilities, approvals and limits expressly agreed for that engagement.

What does “Your Trusted Eyes on the Ground” mean?

Your money remains your decision. Your project remains your project. Our role is to help you see clearly, act with better information and stay connected to what is happening on the ground. People living abroad often depend on calls, photos, relatives, contractors, suppliers or other third parties to understand what is happening locally. Information may be incomplete, delayed or different from what is happening on the ground. BOWestAfrica exists to close that visibility gap with independent checks, documentation and direct reporting.

When does a member pay for a service?

Active members submit first. BOWestAfrica reviews the request, applies the member discount, calculates applicable taxes and confirms the price before issuing a payment request. For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.

How does payment work for a non-member?

For a fixed-price public service, a non-member may be asked to pay at checkout before BOWestAfrica completes its operational review. The payment status is Payment Received — Pending BOWestAfrica Review until the request is accepted. If BOWestAfrica determines that it cannot provide a paid non-member request, the service payment is refunded in full. Once an accepted service has started, the normal cancellation and refund terms apply.

How are member service discounts applied?

Member service discount: Silver 5%, Gold 10%, Diamond 15% on eligible BOWestAfrica professional service fees only. Membership fees and third-party or project expenses are not discounted.

How are taxes calculated?

Applicable taxes are calculated through the checkout based on the transaction and billing information. BOWestAfrica does not automatically apply Québec taxes to every customer worldwide.

Does paying for a request mean field work has started?

For members, payment completion makes the confirmed request ready for BOWestAfrica activation. Active service or project work starts only after that activation; a submitted or paid-but-not-activated request is not presented as active field work.

Does BOWestAfrica hold my full project budget?

BOWestAfrica does not automatically hold or control the client’s full project budget. Whenever practical, clients pay verified suppliers or contractors directly. Any expense BOWestAfrica is specifically asked to handle must be authorized, documented and governed by the written agreement and appropriate legal, accounting and payment controls.

What costs are separate from the BOWestAfrica service fee?

Contractors, suppliers, materials, government charges, specialist fees, travel and other third-party or project expenses are separate unless a written scope expressly includes them.

Connected Service Experience

Keep every request, project update and notification connected

Members submit from their dashboard and BOWestAfrica reviews the request before confirming the discounted service price and issuing payment. Visitors can still request services without membership; fixed-price public options may proceed to payment before BOWestAfrica completes its operational review.
