We implement landscape, feasibility, and needs assessments, leading up to the design of interventions. We create designs, using participatory approaches, incorporating learning from other similar interventions, which are owned by stakeholders and have been effective on the ground
The design of social development interventions is a significant factor in their effectiveness, impact and sustainability. We specialise in designing:
Programmes and projects
Models
Social enterprises and social business
Schemes (Government)
Organisations
Institutions and networks
We use established design and planning frameworks, like Results Based Management (RBM), and also have our own proprietary frameworks. Our work usually produces one or many of:
Theory of change
Log frame
Results assessment framework
Strategic plan
Business model
Business plan
Action plan
Road map
Costed plan
Redesigning, recasting, reforming midway or during periods of crises or changes in context is also part of our design work. So is partnership building, assembling solutions, action frameworks, and action research — all with a focus on results. We lead teams and have also been part of larger design teams. We are familiar with and use human-centred design and participatory planning concepts.
