Our Work

Integrated solutions for Africa’s most pressing challenges.

Across 25 African countries, we work with communities and partners to address interconnected challenges through locally designed, evidence-based programmes built for long-term sustainability.

How We Think About Development

Challenges do not exist in isolation. Neither should solutions.

Education, health, livelihoods, gender equality, climate resilience, governance and evidence are deeply connected. Our programme portfolio reflects that reality.

01 • Locally Designed

Start with context, not templates.

Programmes are shaped around the priorities, resources and realities of the communities and institutions we work with.

02 • Evidence-Based

Use data to make better decisions.

Research, monitoring, evaluation and learning are built into programme design so we can adapt and improve over time.

03 • Inclusive by Intent

Reach those most often excluded.

We deliberately consider the barriers facing women, young people, persons with disabilities, marginalised groups and underserved communities.

04 • Built to Last

Design for sustainability from day one.

We invest in local capacity, systems and ownership so progress can continue beyond the life of a project.

Our Programme Portfolio

Seven connected pathways to lasting change.

Each programme area responds to a distinct development challenge, while working as part of a wider system that strengthens people, institutions and communities.

Why Integration Matters

One challenge often sits behind another.

A young person cannot benefit fully from skills training without access to opportunity. A farmer cannot build resilience without market access. A health programme is stronger when communities trust the systems around it.

01

People

Skills, health, agency and opportunity strengthen individual and household resilience.

02

Communities

Local networks, leadership and participation help communities act collectively.

03

Institutions

Capacity, evidence and accountability strengthen the systems communities rely on.

04

Learning

Evidence connects the portfolio by showing what works, for whom and under what conditions.

Partner with us to turn local priorities into sustainable progress.

We collaborate on programme design and implementation, research, evaluation, capacity building, technical assistance and evidence generation.
