Strategic Communication
Strategic messaging is a core component of development, business, diplomacy, and governance. Whether it's Chinese companies already present or seeking to set up in Africa, our work helps to anticipate and manage public relations risks and handle public affairs and press relations. We help government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and communications personnel craft solid communication strategies to effectively respond to threats such as disinformation, propaganda, misinformation, and fake news.
Risk Analysis
The complexities of global development and the peculiarities of emerging markets require sound advice and insightful leads to navigate. Whether it's debt, politics, infrastructure, or the economy, our insights are sourced straight from the corridors of power to help businesses, investors, and policymakers make informed decisions.
Partnerships and Events
It is often said that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China's gift to the world. Although the concept is President Xi Jinping's, the success of the BRI has been the result of many countries, governments, individuals, and businesses collaborating. The same goes for knowledge and ideas. To make an impact, we identify, build, and expand dynamic partnerships with African and Chinese think tanks, government agencies, and other key stakeholders. Our events, in-person or virtual, check the pulse of Sino-African ties, South-South cooperation, and developments in the Global South.
