What we do
We advise our partners — governments of low- and middle-income countries at national and sub-national level, international organizations such as the UN, academia, as well as donor institutions — on strategic planning, operations management, supply chain, and program design.
System improvement at upstream level
At the upstream level we work with institutions to strengthen the systems that everything else depends on.
Holistic assessments; strategic reviews and problem diagnosis to better understand complex situations; recommendations to address problems; the design and guided implementation of tailored analytics solutions such as control towers, dashboards, or optimization tools; as well as scenario analysis, strategic plans, and technical inputs into policy documents.
We offer technical guidance through our network of advisors; we provide training, workshops and coaching; and we accompany project implementation.
Project evaluation; Impact evaluations to study the effectiveness of novel approaches to address poverty or aid-dependency; integrating and testing prototypes of innovative solutions; adapting proven solutions that improve human development to new environments and bringing them to scale. This work is done hand-in-hand with our partners in academia.

Empowering our clients and recipients plays a fundamental role throughout all of our activities. We offer technical guidance through our network of advisors; we provide training, workshops and coaching; and we accompany project implementation. At ground-level, we work with social entrepreneurs, as it is important that ideas are generated right at the community-level to ensure community engagement, ownership, and sustainability.
