Services

Four ways in, one method.

Advisory work on programme handover, outcomes evidence, governance and political economy, all drawing on the same field experience and the same doctoral research.

01
Exit Design

Aid-Dependency Exit Design

Designing the handover frameworks that move regional NGO and health networks off multi-year donor grants and into locally owned, self-sustaining operating models, without breaking the service in the process. This comes out of ongoing work leading multi-country transitions across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

02
Outcomes

Outcomes & Evidence Architecture

Turning activity data (consults, sessions, distributions) into longitudinal outcome evidence donors can rely on, at both the individual and population level. Drawn from monitoring and evaluation work for EU-funded health and rehabilitation programmes, plus independent outcomes-design engagements for health platforms operating in fragile or divided systems.

03
Governance

Organisational & Governance Advisory

Independent evaluation of NGO structures, board governance and practitioner-researcher partnerships. Delivered as a strategic advisor to the South West International Development Network, working directly with secretariat staff, boards and member organisations.

04
Political Economy

Political Economy & Localisation Analysis

Rapid political economy and governance-risk analysis for programmes operating across fragile, parallel or non-state systems. Grounded in doctoral research into how localisation functions on the ground, not how it reads in a policy paper.

How I Work

A structured process, from inception to delivery.

01

Inception & desk review

Kickoff briefing, review of existing strategy and reporting documents, and interview guides built for each stakeholder tier.

02

Consultation & data gathering

Semi-structured interviews across the organisation, from board members to frontline partners, alongside a systems audit of internal processes.

03

Synthesis

Interview evidence triangulated against documentary review, so every finding is verified from more than one angle before it's written up.

04

Delivery

A full report plus a short, non-technical summary suitable for a board briefing or donor audience.

Typical engagements run 12 to 20 working days, scoped and quoted before work begins, across anything from a few weeks for a rapid strategic briefing to several months for a longer transition. How scoping works, and what it costs, is set out in the questions.

Start with the Transition Exposure Review.

Two weeks, fixed fee, no day rate. Written findings and a structured ninety-minute session.
