Capital Strategy for African Infrastructure

Investment Advisory

BKI advises project developers, investors, and development finance institutions on structuring, de-risking, and financing infrastructure and industrial projects across East Africa. We bring deep sector knowledge in oil & gas, power, and digital infrastructure.

Overview

Capital Strategy for Africa's Infrastructure Investment Wave

BKI's Investment Advisory practice supports project developers, private investors, and development finance institutions in structuring, financing, and de-risking infrastructure and industrial investments across East Africa. We bring deep sector knowledge in oil & gas, power, water, and digital infrastructure.

East Africa is at the centre of a $65B+ infrastructure investment cycle. Getting capital into projects requires more than a financial model — it requires local knowledge, regulatory navigation, bankability structuring, and credible project preparation. That is what BKI delivers.

Our advisory work spans the full investment lifecycle — from initial feasibility and market analysis through financial structuring, DFI engagement, risk mitigation, and investor documentation. We work alongside transaction advisors, legal teams, and technical consultants to deliver investor-grade project packages.
