CONSULTANCY FUNCTION

Africa Institute Seattle makes its instructors, who generally have doctorates in their fields of studies and possess a wealth of practical information, available for consultancy to businesses, governments, and community organizations.

The instructors go into organizational settings, provide training (workshops), and where applicable, on-going consultancy, on subjects in their areas of expertise.

In an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, we all have to deal with people from all over. Global economy is real. In the not too distant future, businesses will survive based on the extent that they effectively diversify; that is how efficiently they promote and sell their goods and services to meet the needs and demands of markets and persons from diverse backgrounds. Therefore, it helps to know how to market goods, services, and conduct business negotiations in Africa.

THINK TANK FUNCTION

Africa Institute performs studies on African issues, particularly, business and politics, and disseminates its findings in relevant publications. While the Institute's primary goal is scholastic, it also wants to disseminate scientific information about Africa to the public and business community. Transnational corporations doing business in Africa will particularly benefit from the Institute's writings and consultations.

The world economy is increasingly interdependent, and requires all of us to understand other people's culture and history, to better enable us to understand and interact with one another, personally and professionally.
