What We Do
Three practices, one chain of work
Research tells us what is true, policy decides what should change, and digital products put that change into people’s hands. A fourth line, business and financial advisory, helps organisations act on it.
-
01

Policy & Development
What should change — designed to be implemented, funded and measured.

Digital Products
Change, delivered into people’s hands at scale.

Business & Financial Advisory
Helping organisations grow, restructure and comply as they act on it.
Research and Insight
We find out what is really happening, and why. Our field teams and analysts gather evidence where official data runs thin: in informal markets, rural communities and small businesses.
- Socio-economic and poverty studies
- MSME and informal-economy surveys
- Market, sector and commodity research
- Baseline, monitoring and impact evaluations
- Data analysis, dashboards and indices
- Government ministries and agencies
- Development partners
- Financial institutions and investors
Policy and National Development
We turn evidence into policies and programmes that can be implemented, funded and measured.
- Policy design and regulatory impact assessment
- National, sector and district development plans
- Programme design for poverty reduction, jobs and inclusion
- Tax and formalisation policy for MSMEs
- Public-private partnership structuring and stakeholder engagement
- Implementation planning, monitoring and evaluation frameworks
- Ministries and regulators
- Metropolitan and district assemblies
- Development partners and industry associations
Digital Transformation Products
Good policy fails if it never reaches people. We design and build digital products that deliver it at scale.
