Tilemsi Global Consulting delivers integrated political risk analysis, democratic governance advisory, human rights due diligence, gender-integrated risk assessment, and environmental impact assessment for organizations operating in the Sahel and West Africa — combining 25 years of field expertise with deep institutional knowledge.
We specialize in the Sahel and West Africa. Where generalist firms provide broad regional snapshots, Tilemsi delivers granular, decision-ready intelligence grounded in sustained field presence and deep governance networks.
Political risk, democratic governance, human rights due diligence, gender risk analysis, and environmental impact assessment — delivered as a single, coherent analytical framework. No siloes, no gaps.
25 years built inside multilateral institutions and bilateral development agencies — giving Tilemsi access to governance networks, primary sources, and institutional relationships that desk research cannot replicate.
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (Feb 2026) creates mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence obligations for companies operating in the region. Tilemsi is purpose-built for this mandate.
From monthly intelligence subscriptions to bespoke due diligence missions — each service delivers clarity in complex, fragile environments across the Sahel and West Africa.
Monthly political intelligence subscription covering regime dynamics, civic space, armed group movements, and regional alliance developments — with real-time alerts on critical events.
C-suite and senior leadership briefings combining 25 years of institutional expertise with ground-level field intelligence. Available for expert network engagements, board sessions, and crisis situations.
Weekly alerts and quarterly deep-dives on the evolving regulatory landscape across the Sahel — covering mining codes, NGO law, civic space restrictions, and gender policy frameworks.
Comprehensive political and social due diligence for investment decisions — covering political, regulatory, community, and gender risks across the full project lifecycle in the Sahel and West Africa.
An integrated HRDD, gender risk, and environmental impact assessment purpose-built for the Sahel. UNGP-aligned and EU CSDDD-compliant — meeting mandatory obligations that no generalist firm can fulfill for this market.
“Most firms offer coverage. We offer understanding — built from 25 years inside the institutions that shape governance across the Sahel and West Africa.”
