Who we work with

We work with organisations whose work reaches communities, whatever their form. What they share is that people depend on them, so their systems have to hold.

Different forms. One thing in common: people depend on them.

The organisations we work with

Non-governmental organisations

Run programmes that communities and funders both depend on, and answer to both.

What they most often need

Evaluations and learning reviews. Measurement and data that stand up to scrutiny. Governance and human resources that pass due diligence.

Community-based organisations

Close to the people they serve, often with few staff and many volunteers.

What they most often need

Governance and policies that fit their size. A plan to grow capacity they can carry out themselves. Records and data kept simply and well.

Governance and financial controls. Strategy for the institution and for its schools, clinics and projects. Safe handling of members' data.

Institutional strategy and reviews. Data systems and dashboards. Data protection and cybersecurity. AI used sensibly in teaching and administration.

Foundations and funders

Decide where money goes, and answer for what it achieves.
