Government Relations
Engage with Integrity
Implementing a strategically sound government relationships policy is key to succeeding in Africa. Our clients are pleased with our good working relationship with key stakeholders and we support them in managing, in a legally compliant manner, their relationship and interactions with the government. We focus on providing updates on the identity of key stakeholders, making introductions where necessary and helping with a myriad of existing and new government regulations, issues and opportunities.
A key to our successful engagement with government entities is to focus on face to face meetings; this approach yields results that countless correspondence seldom does.
We have assisted clients in creating and implementing internal guidelines with regards to the sponsoring of travel of government officials, training and secondment programmes, payment of per diem or out of station fees.
How can we help?
We help our clients build strong working relationships with regulators, policy makers and other stakeholders in compliance with international laws. Get in touch!
