Falcon-Software Company, Inc. Announces
Falcon-Software has been selected to participate in the Mozambique
Mentorship Program - "MozLink" - funded by USAID, as part of a Global
Development Alliance, and the FCIP Group.
Victoria, BC - November 30th, 2004
Falcon-Software Company has been awarded the honor of designing
and developing a tourism website for the Northern Mozambique pro
bono through its membership with the FCIP Group. The United States
Agency for International Development (USAID), TechnoServe (the U.S.-based
non-profit business development organization that manages MozLink),
and the FCIP Group will be working together with Falcon-Software
to promote labor-intensive exports from Mozambique to North America
and other global markets.
Falcon-Software's core objective will be to help increase international
tourism arrivals to Northern Mozambique through the design and development
of a dynamic and professional website, which will help to promote
the region as a travel destination. Team members from Falcon-Software
and FCIP Group will travel to Mozambique in early February 2005
to visit the region and meet with key players to better understand
their current offerings and assess their marketing needs.
The Northern Mozambique tourism website development is slated to
begin in late February 2005, with a provisional site launch in April
2005. "This exciting opportunity is a first for our firm",
says Gary Eisenstein, Executive Director of Falcon-Software and
founding member of the FCIP Group. "We've been building pro-bono
websites regionally and nationally as a member of the FCIP Group
since 2002, with this being Falcon's first international endeavor".
