In partnership with ministries of transport and DFIs like AfDB, we structure public-private solutions for regional road and railway connectivity, supporting trade and job creation.

With geological ministries and DFI expertise, we support the responsible development of Africa’s critical minerals (e.g., lithium, cobalt) essential to the global energy transition.
