Political and public policy advisory for corporates


Political and public policy advisory for corporates

Overview

We advise companies across the continent on public and governmental affairs. We help them to understand and navigate the political economy, and to craft positive public policy strategies, supported by strong technical research and positions.

Our public policy services include stakeholder mapping, policy and regulatory analysis, position papers, dialogue facilitation, and strategies for the mitigation of political, regulatory and legislative risk. Such work is often evidenced by independent economic impact assessments produced by Genesis.
