We design structures that reduce the unit cost of outcomes through optimal risk allocation and competitive dynamics. Our approach generates genuine efficiency gains by creating incentive architectures that drive innovation and continuous improvement in service delivery.
We apply sophisticated project finance risk allocation frameworks to OBF design, placing risks with parties best able to influence, manage, or absorb them. This reduces overall program costs while maintaining performance incentives.
Our structures create powerful incentives for innovation and continuous improvement. Implementation partners don’t just deliver contracted services—they’re motivated to find better, more cost-effective ways to achieve outcomes.
We design procurement processes that attract diverse, capable suppliers while driving genuine price discovery. Our market development approach ensures robust competition without compromising delivery quality.
With active programmes across multiple African countries and sectors—from employment to blue economy initiatives—we understand diverse economic contexts, regulatory environments, and development challenges across the continent.
We recognize that allowing implementation partners to generate legitimate returns drives performance. Our designs balance value-for-money with sustainable incentives for continuous innovation and scale.
