Political Risk Analysis in Africa

Overview

This course equips professionals with the knowledge and practical tools required to identify, analyse, and manage political risks in African markets. Participants explore the political, institutional, and socio-economic dynamics that shape investment and operational risk across the continent. The course introduces structured political risk management frameworks, including techniques for political risk intelligence gathering, scenario planning, and risk prioritisation. Through applied case studies and practical analysis, students learn how to integrate political risk assessments into broader enterprise risk management systems and strategic decision-making processes. By the end of the course, participants will be able to evaluate political risks affecting projects and investments and develop context-specific mitigation and response strategies for operating in complex environments.
