Industries we cover

Seven sectors, one framework.

The US-DRC Strategic Partnership Agreement, signed 4 December 2025, creates specific investment frameworks across seven sectors, from critical minerals and Grand Inga hydropower to the Lobito Corridor and defense cooperation. We cover each with analysis and advisory built for the SPA framework, not generic Africa consulting.
