Transforming Local Dynamics into Business Advantage
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
In East Africa, community tensions can stop operations overnight.
Blocked access, local protests, and rising security costs derail projects and burn cash.
These aren’t rare events—they happen every month across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda.
Most of them are avoidable.
