Business Unit

Public Sector Advisory

Building government institutions that work — through reform, evidence and capability.

What we do

Services

Public Policy Advisory

Policy design grounded in original research and country-level evidence. We work with ministries to translate political priorities into workable, costed policy instruments. Our advisors combine economic analysis with stakeholder consultation to test feasibility. The result is policy that survives implementation, not just publication.

Enquire

Governance Reforms

Structural reform of public institutions to improve clarity, accountability and delivery. We diagnose mandate overlaps, redesign reporting lines and modernise core processes. Reform is sequenced to manage political risk and absorb institutional capacity. We stay engaged through implementation, not only design.

Enquire

Transparency Frameworks

Open government, audit and disclosure systems that build public trust. We design access-to-information regimes, beneficial ownership registers and procurement transparency tools. Frameworks are aligned with international standards and adapted to local realities. We also train institutions to operate them sustainably.

Enquire

Institutional Capacity Building

Strengthening ministries, regulators and agencies to deliver on their mandates. We assess people, processes and systems, then close priority gaps through coaching and tools. Capacity work is embedded into live operations rather than delivered as standalone training. We measure shifts in performance, not attendance.

Enquire

Anti-Corruption Strategy

Integrity systems and risk mitigation tailored to high-risk public functions. We map corruption pressure points across procurement, licensing and revenue collection. Controls combine policy, technology and behavioural levers to reduce opportunity and incentive. We support enforcement bodies to investigate, prosecute and recover assets.

Enquire

Public Financial Management

Budget, expenditure and revenue reform that strengthens fiscal discipline. We advise on medium-term budgeting, treasury operations and cash management. Our teams also support revenue authorities to broaden the base and improve collection efficiency. Reforms are anchored in transparent reporting and credible oversight.

Enquire

Tax Policy Advisory

Designing fair, efficient tax systems that fund development without choking growth. We model rate, base and incentive options against revenue, equity and competitiveness goals. Drafting support covers primary legislation, regulations and administrative guidance. We help governments engage taxpayers and explain reforms publicly.

Enquire

Regulatory Design

Pragmatic regulation that supports growth while protecting public interest. We apply regulatory impact assessment, cost-of-compliance analysis and sandboxing tools. Rules are co-designed with industry and civil society to improve legitimacy and uptake. We also build regulator capacity to supervise and enforce consistently.
