Six practice areas. Four threads. One integrated advisory practice.
Our practice is organised around six focus areas at the forefront of Africa's energy, resource, industrial, and climate future. Each discipline is deeply connected — together they represent the full strategic terrain on which Africa's sustainable development will be built, financed, and led.
Energy Systems & Renewables
Africa’s energy future will not be inherited; it must be built. The challenge is not only one of supply, but of systems, the complex, interdependent architecture of generation, transmission, distribution, markets, regulation, and finance that determines whether energy reaches people, powers industries, and attracts investment at the scale the continent requires.
We advise across the entire energy value chain, from upstream resource assessment to end‑use efficiency, supporting governments, development institutions, utilities, developers, corporations, and investors in building and scaling resilient energy systems that meet Africa’s sustainable development needs.
Our work spans traditional and renewable energy infrastructure, power market reform, and sector development, delivering integrated advice grounded in African realities and built for implementation.
Our scope covers
- Oil & Gas advisory:
We guide companies through the evolving oil & gas landscape, supporting transition strategies, gas-to-power solutions, and future fuels. Our advisory helps institutions adapt to reforms while positioning for long-term resilience and opportunity.
- Power & Renewables:
From power generation to transmission, grid infrastructure, and distribution, we provide insights on electricity market reforms, mini-grids, energy access solutions, and renewable integration. Our support enables organizations to harness clean energy solutions and expand access sustainably.
- Regulatory and market sector reforms across oil, gas, and power markets.
- Mini-grids, distributed energy, and energy access solutions.
- IPP advisory from project development through to financial close.
- Distributed and decentralised generation -mini-grids, rooftop solar, and C&I systems.
- Energy systems planning and investment frameworks.
Climate, Energy Transition & ESG
We help organizations design practical pathways toward decarbonization by integrating climate strategy, ESG frameworks, and energy market insights to build resilient, future-ready energy systems.
Our work spans climate policy and planning, climate resilience and adaptation strategies, net-zero and decarbonisation roadmaps, climate tech and new-energy innovation, carbon markets, ESG frameworks, integration across project and investment cycles, sustainability policies, impact measurement and management, sustainable supply chains and operationalisation, etc.
Investment & Climate Finance
Our Investment & Climate Finance practice spans the full investment and climate finance stack, from investment strategy, project finance, climate finance access through transaction structuring, carbon markets, and venture capital - across five (5) interconnected focus areas, namely:-
Investment Strategy & Market Intelligence
Energy and climate investment strategy, market entry, sector research, portfolio allocation, and investment climate reforms.
Climate Finance Strategy & Access
Advisory on public and concessional capital, including GCF, Adaptation Fund, National Determined Contributions (NDCs) investment planning, results‑based finance, and loss & damage mechanisms.
Venture Capital & Innovation Ecosystem
Connecting vetted climate and energy founders with aligned investors, and building accelerators, co‑investment platforms, and venture builders to scale African innovation.
Carbon Markets & Carbon Finance
Compliance and voluntary market strategy, Article 6 advisory, carbon credit development, and net‑zero finance.
Project Finance & Transaction Advisory

Green Industrial Development & Value Chains
Africa stands at the threshold of a new industrial transformation. Clean energy, responsible resource stewardship, and shifting global markets are reshaping how value is created — opening opportunities for African economies to lead.
We partner with governments, investors, and corporations to design and implement green industrial pathways, developing investment-ready strategies, project pipelines, and delivery frameworks that drive competitiveness, deepen value addition, and position Africa within emerging global value chains.
Our work spans the full green industrial value chain, from policy and strategy through to capital mobilisation and institutional development — across eight integrated focus areas:
Green Industrial Policy & Strategy
Industrial policy design, master plans, competitiveness assessment, and just transition planning.
Special Economic Zones & Industrial Clusters
SEZ design and governance, cluster development, and infrastructure planning for green industrial investment.
Value Chain Development & Local Content
Value chain mapping, local content strategy, supplier development, AfCFTA integration, and export market development.
Critical Minerals & Resource Value Addition
Beneficiation strategy, battery value chain development, and responsible sourcing frameworks that maximise in-country benefit from global clean energy demand.
Clean Technology Deployment & Innovation:
Green hydrogen, electric mobility, climate-smart agro-processing, and circular economy strategy.
Trade, Regulatory & Standards Frameworks
AfCFTA implementation, CBAM advisory, international standards compliance, and investment promotion frameworks.
Green Industrial Finance & Investment
Project finance, green bonds, blended finance, concessional capital, and FDI facilitation.
Capacity Building & Institutional Development
