WHAT IS EAST AFRICAN SOLUTIONS?

East African Solutions is a strategic advisory firm that works alongside organisations operating within, investing in, or pursuing opportunities across East Africa's Investment Staples to strengthen organisations and create long-term enterprise value.

Investment Staples are the interconnected commercial systems that underpin long-term productive investment and enterprise development across East Africa. We focus on these systems because they represent areas of enduring commercial demand and provide strong foundations for sustainable enterprise value.

HOW WE CREATE ENTERPRISE VALUE

The right course of action should be determined, not assumed.

We believe in diagnosing before prescribing.

Every engagement begins with Influence Mapping—our proprietary enterprise diagnostic methodology—which enables us to understand the unique strategic, commercial, organisational, financial and stakeholder influences shaping each organisation before determining the right course of action.

We don't define success by a single business metric.

We help organisations make better strategic decisions that strengthen their long-term position and, in doing so, create enterprise value.
