Legislative & Institutional Framework
Structuring a major project requires a robust legal ecosystem. We intervene upstream to secure and optimize the regulatory environment for States and institutions.
Sectoral reforms: Analysis and support for legal and institutional framework reforms in strategic sectors (Water, Energy, Waste Management, Transportation, Digital)
Drafting legislation : Drafting treaties, laws, and regulations (including implementing decrees) relating to the development of private investments and the opening of industrial sectors to economic players
Regional harmonization : Advisory support for the development of economic associations, and accession to the European Union (EU) or the WTO

Governance & Regulation
Clear and transparent regulation guarantees the sustainability of public services and investor confidence. We assist in structuring regulatory and supervisory authorities.
Regulatory authorities : Establishment, organization, and implementation of sectoral regulatory mechanisms (water, energy, port authorities, banking sector)
Public policies : Institutional and regulatory aspects of sectoral policies and strategies, and the development of private sector participation (PPP), including the European Union's Sectoral Policy Support Programmes (SPSP)

Inclusive Participation & Strategy
We design intervention frameworks that integrate all stakeholders, ensuring buy-in and social acceptability—essential conditions for the economic viability and long-term sustainability of projects.
Local governance : Design of formal and informal governance and coordination modes for collective user mechanisms and affected populations
