Our work spans the sectors driving Africa's economic transformation. Each has its own regulatory logic and its own set of decision-makers, and we apply the same method across all of them, fieldwork and sector specialists testing analysis against what is really happening.
Sectors
Sectors We Serve
Agriculture and agribusiness
Land tenure, input markets and export policy shift with the political cycle, not the growing season.
Technology and digital economy
Data protection, taxation and platform regulation are being defined in real time, market by market.
Health and health systems
Procurement and donor funding often shape outcomes more than consumer demand.
Mining and critical minerals
Resource nationalism, licensing terms and community relations shift with government priorities, not just commodity prices.
Climate and carbon markets
Carbon credit frameworks and land rights are evolving quickly, and not always in step with each other.
Energy and infrastructure
Project viability depends as much on political commitment and offtake reliability as on engineering.
Financial services and fintech
Licensing regimes for mobile money and digital lending are still being written, often unevenly, across neighbouring markets.
Why clients choose Sofala
