Bilateral cooperation

Two countries.
One framework.

Bilateral cooperation programmes need a shared, neutral, defensible view of both ecosystems — one that ministers, agencies and field teams on both sides can refer to without endless data negotiations. That’s exactly what OSE provides.

The bilateral data problem

Why every bilateral programme hits the same wall.

Two data systems, two truths

Each country measures its ecosystem its own way. Comparison ends in arguments rather than decisions.

Snapshots age fast

Joint feasibility studies are 18 months old by the time the cooperation agreement is signed — the data is already stale.

No accountability layer

Once the programme is launched, there's no neutral, longitudinal yardstick to measure if it's actually catalyzing the ecosystem.

Where we operate

Bilateral corridors we work on.

These are the cooperation corridors where OSE has already delivered diagnostics, briefings or longitudinal reporting.

🇫🇷 ↔ 🇲🇦

France ↔ Morocco

Long-standing economic ties, growing entrepreneurial diaspora flows. OSE supports French agencies and Moroccan ministries with shared diagnostics.

🇪🇺 ↔ 🌍

EU ↔ Africa

Aligned with the EU-Africa partnership. Single comparable framework across 54 African countries — useful for AU-EU joint programmes.

🇶🇦 ↔ 🌍

Qatar ↔ France & MENA

Working with HEC Paris in Doha and MCIT Qatar on capability mapping for Qatar's diversification agenda and bilateral education partnerships.

🇦🇪 ↔ 🌍

Gulf ↔ Africa

Gulf SWFs and DFIs investing into African entrepreneurial ecosystems — capability radar shows where capital actually compounds.

🇲🇦 ↔ 🇸🇳 / 🇨🇮

Maghreb ↔ West Africa

South-South cooperation: Moroccan and West African actors increasingly partnering. We map the cross-border entrepreneurial corridors.

🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 ↔ 🌍

Mediterranean cooperation

UfM, 5+5, AECID, AICS programmes aiming at Maghreb and MENA — single benchmark across all participating countries.

Other corridors on request — we cover 140+ countries on the same framework.

Deliverables

What you get from a bilateral engagement.

Joint country diagnostic (PDF)

One report covering both countries on the same 5-layer OSE framework. SWOT, gap analysis, indicators table. Dual-language (FR/EN) on request.

Live shared dashboard

Multi-seat institutional access to the OSE Atlas, scoped to both countries. Same view for ministry A and ministry B — no more data arguments.

Capability matching

Identify the precise capability complementarities between the two ecosystems — where one country's strength fills the other's gap.

Quarterly briefings

Quarterly written briefing for the bilateral steering committee — 4 pages, key metrics, what changed, what to watch.

Steering committee participation

On request, OSE attends the bilateral programme steering committee as an independent technical observer.

Scoping a bilateral programme?

We can co-design a joint diagnostic with you and your counterpart ministry / DFI. The scoping itself is free — we believe it should be.
