Our difference from classic consultancy firms is that we carry out complex administrative and technical processes in the field, in the heart of Africa, not behind a desk.

OZMENAY & PARTNERS

African Project Management and Investment Consulting Services

We have been providing management and consultancy services based on active field experience in the African continent for over 25 years.
In more than 10 countries, primarily Benin, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Cameroon, Congo, Niger, Mozambique, Mali, South Sudan, Gabon, and Tanzania; we have made direct and indirect contributions to investments exceeding tens of billions of US dollars in projects in various fields such as dams, roads, airports, mining, agriculture, hotels, stadiums, and energy. Significant added value has been provided to projects by approving additional contracts and claims exceeding 4 billion USD with local administrations.
Projects that had stalled due to technical, administrative and contractual problems were revived through effective analysis, solution-oriented approaches and high-level corporate and strategic communication methods.

Who We Are

Our Solution-Oriented Approach

Our Distinctive Aspects

Instead of suggestions that remain within the theoretical framework, we proceed with field-tested solutions and carry your projects to sustainable and concrete results.

We are a project management and technical consultancy team with field-based expertise and deep regional knowledge, specific to the African continent, going beyond the traditional consultancy approach.

We operate with direct field experience gained in complex construction site conditions, unpredictable administrative structures and technically sensitive projects. We shape project management not only within a theoretical framework but also at the very heart of the practice, with real information fed from the field.

Our team consists of senior managers who are experts in their fields, primarily Ergün Özmenay, Cengiz Tezişçi and Suat Gülşen, with over 25 years of field experience in the African continent. This team has directly or indirectly contributed to a total investment volume of over 30 billion US dollars in projects carried out in different regions of the continent. Throughout their careers, our members have worked with leading engineering and contracting companies in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa; they have carried out processes not only from their head offices but also directly in the field, where decision-making mechanisms operate, in the application.

They have not only technical expertise but also deep field knowledge of public structures, local administrations, tender processes and legislative systems specific to African countries. They have also developed strong relationships with the presidency, ministries and relevant public institutions over many years and an effective network covering strategic decision makers in Africa. Thanks to this network of relationships, fast and effective results can be achieved in critical processes such as permits, approvals, additional contracts and rights claims of the projects.

We intervene in the technical, contractual and administrative difficulties encountered in many projects in Africa with an understanding that is well aware of local dynamics and based on a solution-oriented approach.

Projects that had not made progress for years were made operational again as a result of the contract management audits and technical and administrative interventions we carried out.

To date, more than USD 4 billion worth of additional contracts and claims have been approved by the relevant public authorities, and many at-risk projects have been sustainably restructured.

We meticulously analyze each contract clause, evaluate technical risks in detail, and add tangible value to projects by overcoming administrative and regulatory obstacles in full compliance with both local legislation and international contract provisions.

 

  1. Deep knowledge of local legislation, public structures and socio-cultural dynamics specific to African countries
    Knowing local regulations, bureaucratic processes and cultural sensitivities minimizes project risks.

  2. Ability to obtain effective and fast results in processes such as Claim, Additional Agreement (Addemdum), dispute resolution (arbitration)
    It prevents possible delays in financial and contractual processes and ensures cash flow and project continuity.

  3. Advanced contract reading, interpretation and strategy development competence in international public procurement and FIDIC contracts
    By correctly analyzing the critical provisions of contracts, we prevent loss of rights, identify potential disputes in advance, and devise the right legal and operational strategy at every stage of the project.

  4. Field-based, pragmatic, ethical and solution-oriented consultancy model.         Fast and result-oriented management compatible with the realities of the projects on the field; reliability and cooperation are our priorities.

  5. Multi-disciplinary technical expertise in areas such as roads, dams, drinking water, energy, airports, mining, sports facilities and industrial construction.
    Provides high quality and efficiency in field applications by comprehensively understanding the technical requirements of the projects.

 

If you want to manage your projects in Africa with a team that knows local legislation, has strategic relationships, has real field experience and is focused on producing results, you are in the right place.
