Our member firms maintain this valuable affiliation while operating as separate and independent entities under the laws of the country in which they are incorporated. This structure means that our local leadership, management and operations staff consists of homegrown talent with access to top-notch international experts, as projects require. This structure also means that the local clients benefit when KI global is involved in a project (which is vital to our business methodology).

Local Expertise Matters

Because of our emphasis on leveraging and training local talent, we have a comparative advantage in promoting sustainable development in Africa. It also means that our efforts are trusted and well-received locally (we can't begin to tell you how important this is.)

The local populace values KI as a vehicle of economic growth and prosperity. Clients value KI as a long-term development partner who can respond quickly using an extensive network of indigenous African experts who have worked in-house for respected public, commercial and civil society organizations. And we support this local talent with international expertise when necessary. This could take the form of further training individuals, bringing in experts from abroad, or a combination of both. The important part is that the local aspect is always valued, and every effort is made to foster personal growth in individuals, so they can share that knowledge with others in the future.

Our member firms, all organized on this model of local management combined with appropriate international expertise, now operate in several countries including Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Burundi and Ethiopia—and we are strategically reaching out to more nations within Africa and beyond.
