Our work spans sectors where political, regulatory and institutional dynamics have a direct bearing on decisions and outcomes. We combine sector knowledge with fieldwork and local expertise to understand how these dynamics vary across markets.
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
Policy, financing, procurement and institutional priorities shape how health systems and markets develop.
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.
