Patlong combines expertise in political economy, energy security, sustainable finance, international business, geoeconomics with program design, and strategic communications and advisory. This versatile foundation enables us to deliver sophisticated analysis and actionable strategies that navigate complexity while remaining grounded in local realities. Whether advising governments on energy transition pathways, helping businesses manage geopolitical risks, or developing fundraising strategies for impact initiatives, we apply the same commitment to rigorous research and practical solutions.
Our work spans continents but maintains particular focus on emerging markets and the Global South, where we help translate global trends and technologies into context-appropriate strategies for resilience and sustainable growth. Through our projects, publications, and partnerships, we strive to contribute to a more equitable and sustainable global future.
Who we are
Named after our family mountain village in Lesotho that represents our roots and vision, Patlong is an African-led consultancy that bridges global expertise with local context. We operate at the intersection of energy security, climate policy, sustainable finance, and international development, bringing a unique perspective that combines rigorous analysis with practical implementation.
Our consultancy was founded on the belief that addressing today's most pressing challenges requires both deep technical knowledge and nuanced understanding of socio-political landscapes. Drawing from experience across the private sector innovation, social impact initiatives and government relations we bring a multidimensional approach to sustainable development that prioritizes both effectiveness and equity.
