Our Role

Strengthening Government-Led Initiatives With World-Class Expertise

Governments across Africa are already doing remarkable work to protect their people. We come alongside with international best practices, digital tools and development partnerships to make those efforts go even further.

🀝

Complementing Government Vision

We align with government priorities and national development plans β€” amplifying existing programmes with proven global frameworks.

🌍

International Partnership Access

We connect government agencies with UN bodies, multilateral donors and development finance institutions to unlock additional resources and technical support.

πŸ“‘

Stronger Coordination Systems

We build the digital infrastructure and governance structures that help government agencies work together more seamlessly across all tiers.

πŸŽ“

Capacity & Knowledge Transfer

We train teams, embed best practices, and build lasting institutional capacity so governments lead with full confidence and full ownership.

What We Do

End-to-End Humanitarian & Poverty Reduction Services

We partner with governments and development institutions to design, build and operate systems that deliver real change at scale.

01

Integrated Response Framework Design

We design unified national frameworks that harmonise humanitarian action, social protection and livelihoods under one governance architecture β€” driving coordinated, measurable impact.

02

Digital Poverty Management Systems (OPRS)

We build and deploy national-scale digital platforms that unify beneficiary registries, enable real-time targeting, and power shock-responsive dashboards β€” from National Social Register to Early Warning modules.

03

Governance & Institutional Architecture

We establish national coordination councils, secretariats and inter-ministerial working groups β€” giving governments the institutional muscle to lead large-scale reforms with full accountability.

04

Poverty Graduation Programme Design

We architect structured pathways that move people from crisis relief through safety nets, skills development, MSME financing and market integration β€” creating lasting economic independence.

05

Financing & Resource Mobilisation

We structure blended finance models, results-based financing instruments and public-private partnerships β€” mobilising diverse funding streams and building long-term fiscal sustainability.

06

Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL)

We embed robust MEL systems with KPI dashboards, quarterly reporting, beneficiary feedback loops and independent audits β€” ensuring accountability, adaptive management and donor confidence.

The Graduation Pathway

From Crisis to Prosperity β€” One Connected Journey

Our signature poverty graduation pipeline is the architecture that turns relief spending into lasting economic empowerment.

Our Approach

Government-Led. Internationally Supported. Built to Last.

We follow a phased, institutionally grounded methodology that places government at the centre β€” with international expertise and resources behind them every step of the way.

πŸ›οΈ

Institutional Anchoring

We embed reforms within existing government structures β€” not parallel systems β€” ensuring long-term ownership and policy continuity.

πŸ“

Phased Delivery

From 6-month alignment sprints to 60-month institutionalisation β€” our roadmaps are sequenced for realistic, verifiable results.

🀝

Multi-Stakeholder Coordination

We convene federal agencies, state governments, UN bodies, donors, CSOs and the private sector under one coherent framework.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Risk-Proofed Design

Every engagement includes risk registers, safeguards and mitigation plans β€” covering institutional, data, financing and capacity dimensions.

Let's Strengthen Your Programmes Together.

We partner with ministries, development agencies and international organisations to bring added capacity, technology and global expertise to government-led humanitarian and poverty reduction initiatives.
