Six capabilities

Each one backed by assignments you can inspect.

Open any capability to see what it includes. Under each one sit the assignments, meetings and films that show it in practice.

Policy studies, economic appraisal, regulatory reform and sector strategies.

Policy, Economics & Strategy Advisory

“We need to understand the problem and choose a defensible course of action.”

Policymakers often struggle to turn ambitious visions into results. We bridge that gap by building people-centric and planet-conscious thinking into economic and development policy, and by turning rigorous evidence into policies that governments, donors and organizations can act on.

Feasibility, project preparation, theories of change and implementation planning.

Program & Project Design

“We have a mandate or funding window but need an implementable program.”

We design programs and projects around specific goals across the public, private and development sectors, and test whether a concept is viable before funding is committed. Program frameworks sit alongside economic, financial and environmental feasibility, so the design that goes forward can be implemented, financed and defended.

Institutional diagnostics, public financial management reform and change-management support.

Institutions, Governance & Delivery

“A policy exists, but institutions cannot implement it consistently.”

A sound policy still fails when the institutions that must deliver it lack clear mandates, workable processes or the capacity to follow through. We work with governments, regulators and public bodies to find where delivery breaks down, then build the arrangements, skills and incentives that make implementation consistent.

How the work is done

From the field to the decision, and a system that can act on it.

Different assignments use different methods. The discipline underneath is consistent: understand the real system, structure the evidence, test the alternatives and design for implementation.

01 / 05

Reality

Complex problems rarely arrive structured.

Field observation, consultation, document review, institutional context.

Meeting around a conference table
02 / 05

Evidence

Find the signal, then structure it.

Survey design, data collection, cost estimation, gap assessment.
