Advisory Services

Sectors We Advise On

We focus on the sectors that build productive economies — agriculture, housing, export promotion, and the infrastructure that connects them.

Agriculture Modernisation

Sub-Saharan Africa has enormous agricultural potential but chronic underinvestment in the infrastructure needed to realise it. We help governments finance the transition from subsistence to productive, commercially viable agriculture.

Areas we advise on:

  • Irrigation infrastructure and water management systems
  • Post-harvest storage, cold chain, and agro-processing facilities
  • Agricultural mechanisation programmes
  • Fertiliser production and distribution infrastructure
  • Livestock development and veterinary infrastructure
  • Agricultural export processing and quality certification facilities

Financing typically sourced from:

AfDB/ADF, IFC, IFAD, bilateral agricultural development facilities, climate adaptation funds, commercial agricultural lenders.

Housing & Urban Development

Africa's housing deficit is one of the continent's most pressing economic and social challenges. We help governments structure and finance housing delivery programmes at scale.

Areas we advise on:

  • Social and affordable housing construction programmes
  • Urban infrastructure (roads, water, sanitation, electricity connections)
  • Government mortgage and housing finance facilities
  • Urban regeneration and slum upgrading projects
  • Public-private partnerships for housing delivery

Financing typically sourced from:

Shelter Afrique, AfDB, World Bank/IDA, bilateral housing funds, DFI-backed mortgage facilities, commercial real estate lenders.

Export Income Promotion

Economic independence requires hard currency earnings. We help governments finance projects specifically designed to generate export revenue.

Areas we advise on:

  • Export processing zones and special economic zones
  • Value-added manufacturing and mineral beneficiation
  • Trade logistics infrastructure (ports, rail, warehousing)
  • Export-oriented agro-processing (coffee, cocoa, cashew, horticulture)
  • Tourism infrastructure with foreign exchange earning potential

Financing typically sourced from:

IFC, BII, Proparco, KfW, export credit agencies, trade finance facilities, commercial project finance lenders.

Infrastructure & Industry

Roads, energy, water, manufacturing — the building blocks of industrialisation. We help governments prepare and finance large-scale infrastructure and industrial projects.

Areas we advise on:

  • Energy generation and distribution (including renewables)
  • Transport infrastructure (roads, bridges, rail, ports)
  • Water and sanitation systems
  • Industrial parks and manufacturing facilities
  • Digital infrastructure and connectivity

Financing typically sourced from:

AfDB, World Bank, bilateral infrastructure facilities, ECAs, PPP structures, blended finance vehicles.
