Our services are tried and trusted by leading
risk consultancies...
We have worked with AfriIntel across many African countries on projects requiring open source
investigation, human source enquiries, background screening, site visits, and document retrievals.
Our experience has been very positive. AfriIntel always demonstrates the three key components of a
successful collaboration: good communication, timeliness and adherence to deadlines, and high-quality
research.
AfriIntel’s services helped our company to provide our clients with reliable information across much of
Africa. AfriIntel is always helpful in explaining local limitations and helping us and our clients to understand
the methods required on the ground.
We would highly recommend AfriIntel's services as their work is always to a great standard and their
offerings are very versatile.

Associate Director, Global Risk and Strategic Consulting Firm
Our experience with collaborating with AfriIntel over the past six months has been quite a positive
experience for our company. They are resourceful and creative, which we find to be two of the most
important (and hard to find) traits in this type of collaboration.
They are timely, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we are all on the same page
and delivering a high-quality product to our clients, especially in jurisdictions where there is not a lot of
clarity. Highly recommend!

leaders worldwide...
AfriIntel was recently appointed to provide a service to OMF. The team demonstrated a deep understanding
of the requirements and delivered insightful analysis that significantly contributed to our decision-making.
Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were evident in every interaction.
We appreciate the collaborative approach and the timely updates that kept us informed at each stage. The
final report was comprehensive and well-presented, making it easy for us to digest the findings.
Thank you for your support. We look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.

Exceptionally adept at gathering information while maintaining complete discretion throughout the process.
Their expertise was invaluable when we faced a specific challenge concerning a product stuck at a port in
Benin. Through their efforts, they obtained crucial information that greatly informed our decision-making
process.
