East African Solutions is an award-winning consultancy establishing, building and growing better and more profitable businesses in East Africa.

The winner of Corporate LiveWire’s 2022 Best New Management Consulting Firm - Africa, East African Solutions bridges the gap between East Africa and the wider world, enabling comfortable and profitable ventures for both local and international institutions and businesses.

With a proven track record, and a highly skilled, experienced, trusted, connected and respected network of local advisors, we act as an indispensable extension to your business and ‘hold your company’s hand’ all the way through its journey to success, consistently delivering positive returns multiple times the level of investment made by our clients in our services (current average is just shy of a 20-fold return on investment).

Our expertise lies in understanding the "who" and "how," ensuring swift, effective, positive and profitable realisation of your organisation’s goals. As catalysts, we excel in bringing together people, companies, projects, products, technologies, ideas, systems, processes and capital to create something greater and more impactful than the sum of its parts.

Adopting strategic and multi-disciplinary approaches, we establish, build and grow better businesses in East Africa. We achieve this by unlocking investments, forging partnerships, optimising supply chains, achieving organisational excellence whilst simultaneously enhancing trade and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), while addressing significant economic, political and social challenges in the region.

We take pride in working on projects with the potential for massive positive social or environmental transformation, aiming to bring about extraordinary results with the goodwill of all stakeholders.

We are big believers in ethical business and believe that unethical business and business practices are a lose-lose situation for the region with all stakeholders, including ultimately those undertaking unethical business practices in the first place.

In a world favouring hyper-specialisation, we stand out as generalists with a dedicated focus on East Africa. Leveraging our broad experience and inter-disciplinary thinking, along with a vast network of skilled and respected location and sector-specific experts, we identify hidden opportunities, connect abstract dots, and create unlikely linkages that lead to heightened profitability and productivity for your organisation.

East African Solutions primarily targets Commonwealth countries on the mainland of what the UN determines as  East Africa where English serves as the main language of governance, encompassing Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Additionally, we extend our services to other parts of the continent whenever and wherever we can make a significant impact.
