Some change requires balance-sheet partners. not donors. We assemble institutional consortia around defined mandates, with shared diligence, joint governance and a single transparent report.
Each mandate is a long-tenor, multi-partner programme governed by a single charter and audited under one ledger.
Three-country watershed / East Africa
Reforestation, soil restoration and water governance across a contested watershed. One charter ratified by every partner. Community-elected observers on the investment committee.
Sahel borderlands
Community mediation, youth livelihoods and civic infrastructure in post-conflict districts. Shared diligence pack; single audited report; joint annual learning convening.
Five-country programme
Maternal health, nutrition and pre-primary education delivered through a single integrated continuum. One results framework; one data spine; one quarterly partner forum.
A single written charter ratified by every capital partner. Defines the thesis, the geography, the governance and the exit. No side letters.
One IC across the consortium, with community-elected observers and a published recusal policy. Decisions minuted and circulated within 10 days.
Foundation and philanthropic capital absorbs first loss to unlock 3. 5x institutional follow-on. Risk-share priced transparently in the term sheet.
A single audited financial report per mandate. Field teams report once, not five times. Every partner receives the same numbers on the same day.
A common results framework, common indicators, common data infrastructure. Learning circulates across mandates, not just within them.
Every mandate seats community-elected observers with full information rights. Communities see what the IC sees, when the IC sees it.
We co-design mandates with foundation partners and take catalytic capital into structured first-loss tranches that unlock institutional follow-on.
Co-funding frameworks with national agencies, AU institutions and multilateral banks for systemic-scale work. aligned on charter, governance and reporting.

Sector-aligned corporate capital deployed under the same charter, governance and reporting discipline as every other partner. No carve-outs. No special branding.
Indicative outcomes per instrument. Move the sliders to see how ticket size and tenor shape reach, jobs and projected return.
