Blended Finance Works, Until It Meets an Organisation That Isn’t Ready for It

The concept of blended finance is solid. Philanthropic or concessional funds bear the risk that private investors might avoid. Consequently, private capital becomes engaged, enabling the project to secure funding and expand its impact. In practice, the gap shows up even earlier — before the capital structure is put together. Organisations that most need blended […]

The Often-Overlooked Resilience Gap in African Institutions

Most organizations that struggle during crises do not fail due to the disruption itself. Instead, their failure reveals a deeper issue: the organization relied on certain individuals rather than on systems built to endure beyond them. This is the resilience gap most significant in African institutions and is least tackled by standard resilience models. While […]

The Organisations with the Most Global Credibility Aren’t Trying to Build It

African organisations that have successfully garnered international attention, partnerships, and funding share a common pattern. They are not necessarily those that invest the most in global communications or international branding efforts.

Case Study 2026

What changes when an organisation plans beyond its founders

THE SITUATION A pan-African women’s rights organisation had spent more than ten years establishing a strong presence across the continent, forming deep connections, and creating work that influenced policies and practices in various countries. The challenge now was not deciding what to do next but planning the next decade to stay true to its founding […]

Structuring a credible ESG disclosure baseline from material reality

THE SITUATION A leading East African telecommunications firm had a strong record of community and network investments. However, these initiatives operated in isolation and were not equipped to withstand rigorous investor scrutiny. The company lacked a cohesive sustainability framework, formalised disclosure structures, and a narrative thread linking commercial performance to societal value. THE WORK We […]

When the portfolio tells the wrong story

THE SITUATION A private foundation had been investing in Uganda for over ten years with a strong and genuine institutional commitment. However, the portfolio was dominated by global North-led NGOs, which, over time, led to the foundation missing out on remarkable local changemakers from the very communities it aimed to serve.
