For insurance & underwriting

Read the risk before you write the line.

Underwriting African mining cover — construction, surety, political risk — means framing a risk in a jurisdiction where the data is thin. Afrimintel hands your underwriters a sourced decision-context per asset: country risk, operator and ownership verification, and the safeguards framework that applies. It stops cleanly where actuarial pricing begins — that line is yours.

Underwriting an African mining risk? One named asset, every figure traced to the document it came from and dated — or marked plainly as not publicly available.

What the substrate actually carries

Conflict-event counts at sub-national level, captured from ACLED on a stated date and past-year window — not a score, not a rating. Where a region returns no coverage we mark it absent rather than zero.

The problem

You're asked to frame a risk you can't easily source.

An African mining submission arrives with the broker's version of the story. Your underwriter needs the independent read — who really controls the asset, what governance and safeguards regime applies, how the host country scores — and today that means hours of reconstruction per risk, unevenly done. Afrimintel assembles that context once, sourced, per asset, so your team frames the risk from verified ground and prices it in their own systems.

What you get

The context, sourced. The pricing stays yours.

Country & jurisdiction risk
Fraser attractiveness with strict survey-year discipline, governance and disclosure status — the sovereign and regulatory backdrop, dated and sourced.
Operator & ownership, verified
Who controls the asset, the ownership chain to ultimate parent, and any dated control changes — traced to primary filings, the field where an unverified claim hurts most.
Safeguards framework
The applicable E&S regime — IFC Performance Standards, World Bank ESF or AfDB ISS — mapped per asset, so a construction or surety read starts from the right standard.
A hard actuarial boundary
No loss curves, no exposure aggregation, no PML, no pricing. That's a different company, and it's yours. We deliver context and stop.
