JV Matchmaking — the flagship
The 48% rule is the door. We are the key.
Foreign contractors must joint-venture with a Ugandan company holding at least 48% — subject to PAU approval. Nothing serves this today. Afuelo's structured matchmaking is the single highest-value workflow in the market, for both sides.
1Profile both sides
International firms state capability, category and timeline; Ugandan firms flag JV-availability, shareholding capacity, NSD status and track record. Structured data, not a forum thread.
2Score & shortlist
Category fit, ring-fencing rules, financial standing, HSE history and PAU-approval readiness produce a ranked shortlist — with the compliance homework already done.
3Brokered introduction
Warm, confidential introductions with an NDA template, a 48/52 term-sheet starter pack and local counsel referrals. We charge for the introduction — never for tender access.
4PAU-ready dossier
The JV pack exports as a PAU-submission-ready dossier: shareholding structure, local-content plan and skills-transfer commitments. From match to approval, one workflow.

Tender Intelligence
Every opportunity. One feed. Zero pay-to-play.
Opportunities are scattered across the NSD/JQS portal, UNOC's tender site, EACOP notices, TotalEnergies and CNOOC supplier processes, and the newspapers. We aggregate them into one alert feed — by email, WhatsApp, SMS and USSD — and keep tender information itself free. We monetize visibility and matchmaking, never access.

Common questions
Answered before you ask.
Is this the same as the PAU National Supplier Database?
No — and you need both. NSD/JQS registration is the mandatory, free government qualification to work in the sector. Afuelo is the private marketplace that makes you findable and helps you win work. We verify against your NSD status; we never replace it.
Do I have to pay to be listed?
No. A verified basic listing is free, forever. Paid tiers add visibility (photos, priority placement, RFQ button, daily alerts) — and every price is published on this page. No quote-only games.
How do you verify companies?
Every profile is cross-checked against NSD registration, URSB company records and tax clearance, and re-verified every year. Profiles that fail re-verification are visibly dated — never silently kept.
Can foreign companies join?
Yes. International firms list as international, and our JV service matches them with NSD-verified Ugandan partners for the 48% joint-venture requirement — with the PAU-ready paperwork built in.
Is tender information behind a paywall?
Never. Tender information stays free. We charge for visibility and matchmaking — not for access to opportunity. That's a published commitment.
How do I pay from Uganda?
MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Visa/Mastercard or bank transfer — in shillings or dollars. Cancel anytime.

FIELD
BOOK
2027
The Field Book — the annual print edition
Nearly half of the Canadian original's leads came from the printed book, because it lived where connectivity didn't. Our sponsor-funded annual lands in Hoima and Buliisa field offices, rig camps, ministry desks and every industry conference — a marketing artifact no digital-only competitor will bother to make.
Trust & governance
The rules we will never break.
Directories die of stale data and pay-to-play. These commitments are the product.
✓Fresh or flagged
Every listing re-verified annually. Profiles that fail re-verification are visibly dated — never silently kept.
✓Tenders stay free
Tender information is never gated behind payment. We monetize visibility and matchmaking — not access to opportunity.
✓Private, and says so
Explicitly a private complement to the NSD. No implied government status; PAU branding respected; registered with URSB and the PDPO.
✓Audited numbers
Annual audited audience media kit — real traffic, real buyer usage. If we can't prove buyers use it, we don't charge suppliers for it.
First oil is here. Be findable when the calls go out.
