Question

Answer

Visiting the Site: Our main office is in Addis Ababa. Can you give us the name and phone number of a person at the Jigjiga Field Office? We want our team to visit and see exactly where to install the air conditioners.

Talking by Phone: Is it possible to talk to your team over the phone or online? A short phone call will help us understand the project details much better.

Electricity and Power: Does the Jigjiga Field Office have problems with stable electricity? Do you need us to add voltage stabilizers or surge protectors for the air conditioners?
