ABOUT ISAAC
Isaac Sebakijje
Author and Pan-African development consultant
I am an African in the diaspora, a hospitality and tourism professional by training, and a development consultant committed to Africa’s self-reliant growth through equitable global partnerships.
My background
Born, raised, and educated in Uganda, I have lived and worked across Africa, Europe, and the United States. My experience with global hotel brands in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States has shaped my understanding of service leadership, structured systems, and operational discipline.
Those lessons inform how I approach broader questions of enterprise, institutional development, and partnership. A worthwhile vision needs people, responsibilities, and systems that can carry it into practice.
My work today
I advise entrepreneurs, investors, diaspora professionals, and organizations seeking to engage African markets thoughtfully. My focus includes market entry, partnership development, hospitality strategy, diaspora engagement, and public-private collaboration.
I also serve as Director of African Business Development at Global Green Development Group, supporting Africa-focused platforms in energy, agriculture, and infrastructure, including agroforestry and landscape restoration initiatives.
The book behind the work
Beyond Aid, Beyond the Debt Trap examines how Africa can organize its assets, strengthen its institutions, and engage the world on equitable terms. The revised and expanded edition connects these ideas across fifteen chapters and includes a foreword by Lexy Mojo-Eyes.
My approach
I believe durable progress depends on local participation, strategic ownership, accountable institutions, and collaboration that creates shared value. My work is to help connect these principles to the opportunities people are building.
