General
Consultancy Africa Intelligence (CAI) offers both standard publications, which are released fortnightly and monthly, as well as tailored research. Our standard publications cover a wide range of topics pertinent to Africa, ranging from political and economic movements, to conflict and terrorism, and issues such as gender and HIV & AIDS. In addition, CAI also publishes a variety of complimentary publications. Building on this in-depth knowledge of the continent, CAI offers clients tailored research to suit particular needs. To read more about how we can assist you, please click here.
CAI utilises a wide mixture of open source information including audio, visual and electronic media ranging from commentary to official statements. Additionally, as CAI's analysts are highly involved in African affairs, we are able to verify the information used and supplement these channels. CAI's comparative advantage is to turn research into intelligence and assist clients with filtering masses of data into understandable, value-added analysis. A full listing of our sources is available below.
We believe that the reports CAI publish are of the highest quality. Through bringing together a number of top people in various fields, information gathered goes through a rigorous process of verification based on background knowledge of particular subject matters.
Due to the amount of information generated over a reports period (i.e. fortnightly/monthly), the team members responsible for research take extreme care in ensuring that the intelligence presented is as up-to-date as possible. Our analysts review all written material at the end of each publication cycle to ensure that in Africa's rapidly changing environment, progressions and changes have not been overlooked. In addition, the editorial team responsible for the final compilation of reports checks and cross-checks all information. Data presented within the reports is updated as soon as new statistics are made available, and is gathered from reputable sources.
At CAI, we believe that with the rapidly changing nature of the African continent, across a wide range of fields and interests, it is deserving of a team able to complement that pace and diversity. With this in mind, we espouse the idea that Africa's dynamics cannot be properly understood by a team constrained by similar experiences, backgrounds or geography.
In view of this, our firm maintains representation in South Africa, with analysts working out of African and non-African countries, ensuring a mix of in-market involvement and an understanding of the mindset of the international market. The team members hold advanced university and doctoral degrees and have widely varying interests, including International Relations, African Politics, Strategic Studies, Political-Economics, Public Administration, Journalism, Public Health, Gender Studies, Sociology and Psychology.
