Strategic advisory for governments seeking high-impact infrastructure partnerships between Africa and Asia.
Who We Are
IGAA Consulting was born from a conviction that no great national vision should go unrealized due to lack of connection or coordination. We are not builders—we are the bridge. The missing link between African nations with bold infrastructure goals and Asian countries, especially India, with the capacity and commitment to help deliver them. Our work sits at the intersection of diplomacy and development, turning strategic intent into tangible outcomes. With IGAA, progress moves faster because partnerships are stronger. We believe that infrastructure is not just about concrete—it’s about dignity, sovereignty, and transformation. And we exist to ensure that African governments get the partners they need, and Asian partners find projects worthy of their ambition.Our approach is defined by precision, speed, and deep institutional understanding.
Where We Operate
IGAA Consulting operates at the heart of Africa’s boldest ambitions and Asia’s most strategic capacities. We work where the stakes are high, and the potential for transformation is even higher—connecting governments who believe in a future of highways, ports, hospitals, and smart cities with those who have the resources, technology, and political will to build them. From Dakar to Dar es Salaam, from New Delhi to Jakarta, we serve as a trusted diplomatic bridge across borders, ideologies, and systems. Our footprint follows a simple principle: wherever a government has the will to transform, and a partner has the strength to deliver, IGAA stands in between—clearing the path, aligning interests, and accelerating execution. We don’t simply operate across continents—we unite them. Because when Africa rises, and Asia engages, the world changes.
Our Mission
To serve as the trusted bridge between African governments seeking transformative infrastructure and Asian nations — especially India — equipped to deliver it. IGAA exists to facilitate this connection, ensuring political vision is matched with the right development partner. We focus on aligning interests, accelerating cooperation, and enabling sovereign partnerships that bring national projects to life. IGAA serves as the bridge—not as the builder. Our role is to foster trust, accelerate alignment, and simplify diplomacy. We believe that every African nation deserves a clear path to progress—one built not on promises, but on trusted partnerships. At IGAA, our mission is to ensure no visionary government stands alone in its pursuit of development.
Our Vision
To empower every African nation with access to transformative infrastructure through trusted, strategic partnerships with Asia. We envision a future where IGAA Consulting stands as the premier catalyst for intergovernmental collaboration — unlocking opportunity, accelerating national development, and reshaping the continent through diplomacy-driven impact.
Our Values
Diplomatic Integrity Every engagement is rooted in trust, confidentiality, and long-term partnership between states.
Execution with Purpose We don’t just advise. We deliver measurable impact through actionable roadmaps and high-level facilitation.
Strategic Alignment We bridge not just infrastructure — but cultures, timelines, and political will — ensuring seamless Africa–Asia cooperation.
Results that Matter Every deal we facilitate is measured by national value — roads built, policies aligned, capital mobilised.
Our Founder’s Message
I founded IGAA Consulting with a simple but powerful belief — that no African nation should be left behind because of a lack of access, alignment, or advisory support. I saw firsthand how many governments hold bold visions for their people, but often lack the bridge that turns those visions into roads, energy grids, or smart cities. That bridge is what we’ve built. At IGAA, we are not just consultants — we are connectors of destiny. We bring governments together, across continents, languages, and histories, to make tangible progress where it matters most: in the lives of citizens. Our work is rooted in trust, fueled by diplomacy, and driven by the belief that Africa’s future must be built with precision, speed, and sovereignty. As a graduate in Politics & International Relations from the University of London, and as someone deeply passionate about the African continent’s rise, I created IGAA as more than a firm — it’s a mission. One where government leaders, public institutions, and global partners can come together under one goal: transformative development without compromise. If you are a decision-maker, a policy shaper, or a believer in what your country can become — know that IGAA is ready to walk with you, from idea to impact. Sincerely, Mr Saliou Jr Ben MBAYE Founder & Director, IGAA Consulting
