Your bridge into East Africa.

Who we are, why it works.
Akiba 360 Afrika is a Kampala-based consulting firm assisting businesses and investors succeed in Uganda and East Africa. We combine on ground knowledge with international standards across business, market entry, talent, compliance and start-up support.
Founded and led by professionals with experience spanning Australian public service, international development and hands-on business ownership in Uganda, we understand both sides of the bridge — what international partners expect, and how things actually get done here.
We don't advise from a distance. We operate businesses in this market ourselves, and we bring that practical, operator's perspective to every engagement.
Built for this
market.

Every engagement starts with understanding — of your business, your objectives, and the realities of operating in East Africa. We don't hand over generic reports. We do the groundwork: verifying partners, testing assumptions, navigating regulators and building the local relationships your business will depend on.
Our approach is shaped by experience on both sides — international and corporate backgrounds, and practical knowledge from running businesses in Uganda. That combination means advice you can act on, not just read.
