Women-led • Impact-driven • Strategy-focused
KRATOA Consulting is a women-owned and women-led advisory and investment firm with over 40 years of combined experience across infrastructure, transport and logistics, energy and power, technology, social development and public-sector programmes across Africa.
The firm operates at the intersection of strategy, policy and capital — designing solutions that unlock economic inclusion, protect and grow capital, and widen access to essential infrastructure and services. Our work is grounded in gender equality, sustainability and long-term development outcomes.
We partner with governments, development institutions, investors and private-sector clients to bridge the gap between ideas, funding and execution.
Focused, staged execution on high-impact areas — aligning projects with national priorities, market readiness and the capacity of stakeholders.
Data-driven insights, proven tools and lessons from success stories, combined with sector expertise across finance, governance and infrastructure.
Converting opportunity into bankable projects and high-impact assets that attract capital, build resilience and create long-term value.
African economies face structural challenges — including declining growth, limited access to affordable finance, uneven value capture, infrastructure gaps and persistent inequality. These dynamics often exclude women, SMEs and vulnerable communities from participating fully in the economy.
Infrastructure backlogs in transport, energy, digital connectivity, housing and social facilities are significant, but they also represent a major opportunity: to design inclusive, climate-conscious and commercially viable investments.
The infrastructure financing gap across Africa runs into tens of billions of dollars annually. This gap creates demand for new models of capital mobilisation, blended finance and gender-lens investing that can crowd in private and public capital.
KRATOA is positioned as a bridge between opportunity and capital — shaping strategies, structures, products and partnerships that enable scalable, sustainable and inclusive growth.
We work collaboratively with clients to co-create solutions that align strategy, finance, governance and delivery. Every engagement is tailored to context, grounded in research and designed for practical implementation.
Our team brings together experience across investment banking, development finance, public policy, infrastructure delivery and human development — enabling us to navigate both technical and political complexity.
We integrate gender, sustainability and local context into project design from the outset, ensuring that capital flows contribute to shared prosperity.
The KRATOA team has contributed to national and regional programmes across energy, transport, student housing, broadband and social infrastructure — working with both public and private-sector partners.
Our experience enables us to navigate complex stakeholder environments, structure feasible projects and anticipate the requirements of investors, regulators and communities.
Clients benefit from a partner that understands both boardroom dynamics and on-the-ground delivery realities.
KRATOA aligns its work with key Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring that infrastructure and investment decisions contribute to a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable future.
