Government Relations

KRL designs and executes government relations strategies understanding that the U.S. government operates as a network of competing powers. We leverage the interagency dynamics to advance client interests.

Congress is a blunt instrument; it can make or break projects. KRL finds your champions and navigates the legislative process to secure decisive wins.

Challenge

A leading African multilateral development bank engaged KRL to position itself as the premier strategic partner for U.S. infrastructure investment in Africa. The institution sought a comprehensive strategy to map U.S. government project and investment pipelines, and to identify actionable opportunities that could elevate its visibility and influence among shareholders, regional partners, and key stakeholders.

Approach

KRL identified and mapped the most influential U.S. officials responsible for Africa policy and global infrastructure development across key agencies, facilitating introductions that have led to signed commitments and partnership agreements. We provided end-to-end support throughout the discussions, accelerating commercial outcomes wherever possible.

Impact

As a result of KRL’s strategic guidance and the client’s proven track record in delivering complex infrastructure projects, the institution was selected as the lead developer of the most significant Western-backed infrastructure initiative in Africa in a generation. This milestone solidified its standing as a key partner to the U.S. Government, unlocking new avenues for commercial collaboration, while also positioning it within a global consortium of European and African governments and their development finance institutions.
