Two decades of specialized infrastructure advisory expertise tailored for Sub-Saharan Africa's unique challenges and opportunities.
Transforming infrastructure concepts into bankable, investment-ready opportunities
Our project packaging service is designed to bridge the gap between infrastructure vision and implementation. We specialize in developing comprehensive, bankable project documentation that meets the rigorous requirements of financiers while addressing the practical realities of African infrastructure markets.
With over 150 projects packaged across 13 countries, we've refined an approach that combines technical feasibility with financial viability, ensuring projects attract the right mix of public and private funding.
We begin with comprehensive market analysis to ensure demand exists for the proposed infrastructure, creating solutions that respond to real needs.
Our packaging identifies and allocates risks appropriately between public and private partners, enhancing project bankability.
Comprehensive review of project concept, policy environment, and market conditions to identify critical success factors.
Technical, financial, economic, and environmental feasibility studies to validate project assumptions.
Preparation of information memoranda, financial models, and presentations tailored to investor requirements.
Active engagement with financiers and investors to secure necessary funding commitments.
Packaged a 25-year PPP for water treatment and distribution serving 1.2 million residents, securing funding from three development finance institutions.
Guiding complex infrastructure transactions from conception to financial close
Our transaction advisory team provides end-to-end support for infrastructure projects, particularly public-private partnerships (PPPs) and other complex procurement structures. We've successfully closed transactions worth over R50 billion across multiple sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa.
What sets us apart is our ability to navigate both the technical complexities of infrastructure projects and the intricate financial and legal structures required to make them viable.
Designing PPP frameworks that balance risk allocation, value for money, and service delivery objectives.
Developing competitive, transparent procurement processes that attract quality bidders while protecting public interests.
Developing the optimal transaction structure based on project requirements and market conditions.
Preparation of RFQ, RFP, and all transaction documents in line with international best practices.
Technical and financial evaluation of bids with robust scoring methodologies.
Negotiation support leading to financial close and project implementation.
Integrating climate resilience and sustainability into infrastructure development
As climate change impacts become more pronounced across Africa, we help clients develop infrastructure that is both resilient to climate risks and aligned with global sustainability goals. Our team combines technical climate expertise with innovative financial structuring to unlock green financing opportunities.
We've advised on projects accessing over R5 billion in climate finance from multilateral funds, green bonds, and other specialized instruments.
Comprehensive assessment of physical and transition risks across project lifecycle.
End-to-end support for green bond issuance including framework development and certification.
Developed financing strategy for coastal protection infrastructure across five West African nations, securing funding from Green Climate Fund and World Bank.
Sophisticated financial analysis for informed infrastructure decision-making
Our financial modelling team develops robust, transparent financial models that serve as the foundation for infrastructure investment decisions. We go beyond simple spreadsheet models to create dynamic tools that can test multiple scenarios and adapt to changing project parameters.
All our models are built with African infrastructure characteristics in mind, incorporating local cost structures, financing constraints, and regulatory requirements.
Testing project viability under multiple economic, operational, and financial scenarios.
Developing sustainable tariff structures that balance affordability with financial viability.
Data-driven insights for infrastructure policy and investment
Our economic research services provide the evidence base for infrastructure planning and policy formulation. We combine rigorous quantitative analysis with deep sector expertise to deliver actionable insights for governments, investors, and development partners.
Recent work includes infrastructure gap analyses for multiple African countries, economic impact assessments of major transport corridors, and sector reform studies.
Analyzing the economic returns and broader development impacts of infrastructure investments.
Assessing the effectiveness of infrastructure policies and regulatory frameworks.
Developing local expertise for sustainable infrastructure development
We believe sustainable infrastructure development requires strong local capacity. Our training programs transfer knowledge and skills in infrastructure planning, financing, and implementation to government officials, private sector actors, and civil society.
All programs are customized to local contexts and combine theoretical foundations with practical case studies from our project experience.
Comprehensive training on PPP project cycle from identification to implementation.
Hands-on training in infrastructure financial modelling using real-world case studies.
