An international infrastructure fund sought to invest in transportation and logistics projects across East Africa. The client needed comprehensive due diligence support, risk assessment, stakeholder mapping, and guidance on public-private partnership structures while navigating complex political dynamics and ensuring projects aligned with national development priorities.
We provided multi-year advisory services covering project identification, feasibility assessment, and stakeholder engagement across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Our team conducted political risk analysis, facilitated government relationships, and structured PPP frameworks that balanced investor returns with development impact. We coordinated with transport ministries, development finance institutions, and local communities to build consensus around priority projects.
- Identified and evaluated 12 infrastructure opportunities across 3 countries
- Successfully closed $420M investment in port modernization and rail connectivity
- Structured PPP agreements with 25-year concession terms and government guarantees
- Created framework for local content requirements supporting regional employment
- Established stakeholder engagement model adopted by national planning authorities
"The political intelligence and relationship capital that WAI Global provided were invaluable. Their ability to help us understand and navigate the intersection of commercial interests and national development priorities led to successful investments that work for all stakeholders."
