Integrate Africa Advisory Services (IAAS) is a pan-African consulting firm based in Johannesburg, South Africa. IAAS brings together African experts, strategists, political and policy analysts, researchers, and communicators with high-level government and diplomatic experience, all of whom have unique expertise in African integration. African integration refers to the policies, processes and structures intended for Africa to progress, gradually, from free trade area to custom union and eventually to a political union.
The African Union is leading the drive to integrate Africa politically, economically, socio-culturally, and infrastructurally. Integrating Africa presents exciting opportunities for smart, sustainable, and socially responsible growth and development; however, this development also creates complex challenges, including political, economic, and socio-cultural structural disruptions at the national level.
Continentally, member states’ complex and competing interests generate a higher level of uncertainty; enhanced geopolitical volatility; vulnerable political consensus regarding the nature, extent, and depth of integration; and other unexpected risks and challenges associated with governance and compliance.
To maximize benefits and minimize risks associated with the integration of Africa, African stakeholders must invest in a deep strategic understanding of the dynamics behind African integration initiatives and how to leverage behind-the-scenes dynamics to better serve national and African interests. Such investment will help stakeholders better identify leading players, positions, and interests, while enabling them to develop tailor-made strategies to harness opportunities and mitigate both seen and unforeseen risks.
IAAS provides the following services to African Union member states, development partners, civil society organizations, political parties, and corporate bodies:
