However, we have found that global stakeholders eager to invest here can encounter roadblocks due to a lack of in-depth jurisdictional knowledge; limited understanding of local frameworks and policies, combined with few opportunities to properly engage with regulators and gatekeepers; superficial understanding of local business norms; and limited access to the right stakeholders. We created The Connect Africa Network to solve this problem, providing advisory and related services to those seeking out investment opportunities and the establishment of long-term partnerships in Africa.
