Our Services

Issue-based Facilitation

We use Issue-based approaches to solve complex governance problems. 

Our associates have experience using Problem-Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) approaches in different problem contexts. We have worked closely with various programme teams to use and adapt the PDIA Toolkit to support coalitions to influence positive change to socio-economic issues.

Climate Governance Research

We research and consult on governance surrounding climate change

We take a special interest in researching and collaborating on the diplomacy, mechanisms and response measures that steer social systems towards preventing, mitigating or adapting to the risks posed by climate change. We are convinced that one of the most important strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change is to democratize the governance of climate action and include the voices and experiences of the most affected in intervention and policy design.

Inclusive Economic and Enterprise Development

We believe that inclusive economic and enterprise development is a key ingredient to addressing global poverty.

Our approaches to international development prioritize including poor and left behind communities in the development of sustainable market-based solutions to pressing global challenges. We believe that supporting the poor to develop income generating projects that work in their contexts is an important strategy to alleviating poverty and helping people step up and step out of difficult livelihood situations.

Robust and agile project management are the tracks on which good international development can be driven.

We have associates who are trusted market development experts with experience across West and Southern Africa. Our experience includes collaborating on human and economic development challenges by attempting to respond to tractable systemic constraints in identified markets and value chains. We have supported various programme teams to develop business models and partnerships that benefit smallholder farmers and agribusiness while improving overall productivity, nutrition and incomes.

Thorough monitoring, research, evaluation and learning are the lifeblood of international development.

We believe that honest and thorough application of monitoring, research, evaluation and learning is the basis upon which lasting and helpful interventions in the lives of people, animals and the environment can be achieved. Our teams in this field are selected on the back of their experience and values in alignment with this belief to give our clients confidence that the work they’ve assigned will be executed professionally.
