How can readers use this research?
Our first mission is to bring sub-Saharan Africa into the comfort zone for our clients. We clarify and analyze news, events, and themes. Our next goal is to steer the conversation about Africa toward business, investments, and economic issues. Finally, we discuss the ways in which Africa is an integral part of global economic and business trends—and how ideas can originate in African countries and spread around the world.
What’s inside?
Our reports include fresh and timely news and analysis to bring events into focus. We incorporate thoughts on how events and trends may affect African companies and global companies. We then bring the discussion down to a country-, sector-, or company-specific level. Sectors in focus include fintech, agribusiness, technology, communications, financial services, consumer products, industrials, manufacturing, transportation, power, healthcare, education, and more.
Experience plus perspective — insight for clients
African Sunrise Partners clients get insight into how global themes connect to events on the ground in Africa. Our Managing Director writes about development of industries, political trends, and local data points in thought-provoking ways. Information is gathered the old-fashioned way by visiting companies, government officials, investors, and local sources where they work. Our knowledge and network were built during more than 50 research trips to 16 African countries in the past decade.
