IMPACT ASSESSMENTS TAILORED FOR AFRICA

Measuring your Economic, Social and Environmental Impacts across Africa

Introduction

2

• We have extensive experience in measuring economic footprints and conducting policy impact assessments, with the latter often necessitating sophisticated modelling expertise to map out digital economies, measuring the impact of complex tax scenarios and assessing the impact of unprecedented shocks.

• Furthermore, our new Global Sustainability Model (GSM), an extension to our Global Economic Impact Model, can measure your whole Africa footprint.

• The model also enables us to produce estimates of economic, environmental, and social impacts across the whole of the value chain, on a consistent basis and comparable with UN Sustainable Development Goals and Greenhouse Gas Protocol metrics.

UNIQUE AND COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS TAILORED FOR AFRICA

Our Methodology

3

• We provide a comprehensive mapping of a company’s economic footprint, detailing every industry and country where activity is supported.

• We use our well-established economic impact assessment methodology to assess the economic benefits generated in each relevant economy and geography by international supply chains.

• This footprint is quantified in terms of its contribution to GDP, the employmentit supports, and the taxes it generates.

• We show how the company contributes to economic activity in three ways:

o the direct impact;

o the indirect impact; and

o the induced impact

ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Our Methodology

4

• We explore the gender composition of employment, together with the age and wage profiles.

• By utilising published data, we can assess the type of employment supported in each industry and country.

• This enables us to explore the gender composition of this employment, together with the age and wage profiles.

• Additionally, published surveys of firm demographics enable us to determine the likely size of firms present in the value chain.

• The metrics produced are comparable with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 5, 8, 9, and 10.

SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Our Methodology

5

• We translate economic activity into environmental impacts on an industry-by-industry and country-by-country basis.

• The GSM combines the disaggregated GEIM results with data on natural resource usage, and the emissions created by each industry around the world.

• This allows us to translate economic activity into environmental impacts on an industry-by-industry and country-by-country basis.

• The metrics produced align with Scope 2 and Scope 3 measures under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

More Comprehensive Approach

• Our Global Economic Impact Model (GEIM) includes regional & global supply chains typically excluded from standard economic impact assessments, enabling comprehensive measurement of economic footprints.

• This type of analysis is ideal for organisations with a large Africa footprint or those headquartered in Africa. A company’s continent-wide impact will become increasingly important in line with increased regional and continent-wide integration.

AFRICA-WIDE FOOTPRINT ASSESSMENT

• The GSM leverages the techniques we have developed in mapping economic footprints. These footprints incorporate not only the activities of the entity in question, but also its regional & global supply chains.

A Distinct Advantage

• Aside from our credible brand alongside world-class models and forecasts, an in-depth understanding of African markets is a key advantage.

• Impact assessments benefit greatly from narratives built around the findings, bringing the numbers and policy shocks into perspective.

• Factors such as political risks and widespread illicit markets are among the few worth highlighting, also when considering wider benefits from investments or adverse spill overs from policy shocks.

CASE-SPECIFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

• Our extensive experience and sophisticated modelling expertise allows for a broad range of capabilities, such as:

o Measure your organisation’s footprint

o Assess the impact of shocks across industries

o Plot and forecast an industry’s recovery path

o Estimate the benefits related to large projects and investments

• Our in-house forecasts, world-class econometric models and expertise locally and across the Oxford Economics group strengthens the credibility of the findings.

• Deep knowledge of the intricacies often unique to African markets also represents a distinct advantage, allowing for building of a credible narrative around the results of the impact assessment.
