Business Unit

Non-Profit Advisory

Helping development organisations turn mission into measurable impact.

What we do

Services

NGO Governance

Board structures, charters and oversight tailored to non-profit realities. We help boards balance mission, fiduciary duty and donor expectations. Director recruitment, induction and evaluation are built into the governance cycle. Stronger governance unlocks credibility with donors, regulators and beneficiaries.

Enquire

Grant Management

Proposal development, budgeting and donor compliance through the full grant lifecycle. We help shape competitive concept notes and proposals aligned to donor priorities. Budgets are realistic, cost-recovering and audit-ready. Grant systems track obligations, deliverables and reporting deadlines in one place.

Enquire

Compliance

Statutory, regulatory and donor compliance built into day-to-day operations. We map obligations across tax, employment, anti-money-laundering and sector rules. Policies, controls and training close the highest-risk gaps first. Compliance becomes a management tool, not a year-end scramble.

Enquire

Monitoring & Evaluation

M&E frameworks that prove outcomes and improve programme performance. We design results frameworks, indicators and data-collection tools fit for the field. Teams are trained to collect, validate and use data in routine decision making. Findings feed back into programme adjustments, not just reports.

Enquire

Impact Assessment

Independent evaluation of programme impact using mixed-methods approaches. We combine quasi-experimental designs with qualitative fieldwork for credible findings. Assessments meet donor and academic standards while remaining accessible to programme teams. Recommendations are practical and tied to next-phase decisions.

Enquire

Donor Reporting

Reports that build trust, demonstrate value and unlock re-funding. We translate activity data into clear narratives of outcome and learning. Financial and programmatic reporting are reconciled to avoid donor queries. Templates and review workflows raise quality across the organisation.

Enquire

Strategic Planning

Multi-year strategy and theory of change anchored in evidence and stakeholder voice. We facilitate leadership, board and partner conversations to define focus and trade-offs. Strategy is translated into measurable goals, capabilities and resource plans. Execution is supported through review rhythms and adaptive management.

Enquire

Programme Design

Designing programmes that deliver intended results in real operating contexts. We start from the problem and the people, not the funding instrument. Theory of change, delivery model and partnerships are stress-tested before launch. Programmes are built to be measured, adapted and scaled.
