Local Content

Ersa reserves a special consideration for indigenous participation to a high level of local content in all projects. To buttress this fact, the company pursues an aggressive training program that draws qualified youth from the local communities. In so doing, the youth will be useful to the community in general and to themselves in particular. To avoid compromising the operational efficiency and technical integrity of our projects, the company has in place realistic objectives that are beneficial to the indigenous population. With these objectives and plans in place, Ersa believes that new standards of indigenous involvement will be set in the construction industry thereby facilitating transfer of technology to locals. In all our projects, Ersa shall embrace the following policy statement, plans and goals.
