Heavy pages of war and conflicts have gone down in the annals of most countries in West Africa . With most affected countries, the necessity to build all over again comes along with the availability of huge stocks of scrap metal, opening tremendous business opportunities in the trade within the sub-region of West Africa . However, anyone that has ever ventured into that area on a scrap metal project would attest to the numerous hurdles of uncertainties that acclimatize the West African scrap metal experience, making the business a cumbersome and dreary road to tread.  This is largely due to:

·        Absence of established facilities for such operations or any large scale scrap metal operation

·        Shortage of trained and experienced scrap processing working crews

·        Shortage of scrap processing tools

·        Lack of large-scale overland transport for raw and processed scrap metal

·        Lack of operating capital for local scrap supplier

·        Banking system difficulties in regard to handling and processing letters of credit.

·        Lack of quality control services

·        Necessity of direct supervision of local operations

The WAMCO concept comes as a platform to enable solutions geared at overcoming or mitigating these problems as much as possible.
