Middle East & North Africa

In the Gulf, countries are investing heavily in diversifying their economies through sovereign wealth funds, large-scale infrastructure projects, advanced technologies, and next-generation defense capabilities. Across North Africa, governments navigate economic reform alongside changing security partnerships, border management, migration, and growing connectivity with Europe.

Understanding this region requires looking beyond official policy and public institutions. Decisions are often influenced by trusted relationships, political considerations, institutional culture, and informal networks that shape how commercial, diplomatic, and security initiatives play out.

We provide clients with critical insight into the stakeholder relationships, political dynamics, and local sentiment that shape the region. Our work helps governments and multilateral organizations identify trusted partners, assess strategic risk, and navigate complex operating environments.
