Regenerative Africa
Strategic advisory
for growth that stays in Africa
We help investors, companies and governments succeed in African markets while keeping more value, capability and ownership on the continent. Teams in Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria.
Our approach
Value capture: how we measure what stays
Capital deployed from a distance misprices risk and leaves little behind. Investments built into the economies around them last longer and perform better. Every engagement measures three things:
Retained value
How much of the value an investment creates stays in the local economy.
Capture risk
Where that value could leak away, be contested or be captured by others.
Capability left behind
The skills, systems and institutions the investment strengthens.
