Akijul Consulting is a research, strategy and change practice rooted in 20+ years of real-world work across Africa, generating the learning, strategy and capacity that makes lasting change possible.
What we do
Four ways we work, end to endResearch
Practice-based insight on enterprise, women in transition, AI adoption and change, across 14+ African countries.
Strategy
Helping organisations find direction, through facilitation, not prescription.
Change
Organisational, social and systems change, the kind that lasts because it is grounded in practice.
Facilitation
Convening spaces where people and ideas move from knowledge into purposeful action.
Change is not a service we sell. It is a practice we live.
We work with organisations, networks and social enterprises across the continent, facilitating, not prescribing, so that strategy is tested in the room, on the ground, with the people it is meant to serve.
