04FAQ

Frequently asked

Do you work with operators as well as governments?+

Yes. We advise governments, regulators, and NOCs on one side, and investors and operating partners on the other — but never both sides of the same transaction.

How do you handle the ESG and community dimension?+

It is treated as a core delivery risk, not a communications afterthought. Local content and community engagement are embedded from licensing onwards.

Which geographies do you cover?+

South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the wider East African region — with selective work on cross-border infrastructure and revenue-sharing frameworks.
