OHADA country factsheets: investing in Africa

Series · OHADA country factsheets

Practical benchmarks, country by country, for investors and general counsel. Each factsheet combines a base of factual data — company forms, taxation, incentives, key sectors, foreign-exchange rules — with a practitioner’s reading from UGGC Africa: what the texts say vs ground reality. One framework harmonised across 17 OHADA states, with enforceable CCJA arbitration.

Our method — what sets our factsheets apart

A UGGC factsheet is not an aggregation of public data. Each country is treated with:

  • a sourced factual base (macro, company forms, taxation, incentives, FX);
  • a practitioner’s reading — structuring choices, local pitfalls, text-vs-practice gaps — signed by the relevant office;
  • the OHADA securing levers: CCJA arbitration, security interests, harmonised governance and accounting (SYSCOHADA).
