Sectors

Where our work is concentrated

Four sectors, chosen because they connect: a school meal is also an agricultural market, and a tourism concession is also community infrastructure.

Sector 01

School Feeding & Nutrition

The challenge

Millions of children attend school hungry, and national feeding programmes are often under-funded, fragmented and disconnected from local food production.

Our approach

We design home-grown school feeding models where the meal budget becomes a guaranteed market for local farmers and small caterers, with government retaining oversight and private partners carrying delivery risk.

School Feeding & Nutrition

Key activities

  • Programme design and costing
  • Local sourcing and supplier development
  • Kitchen and logistics infrastructure
  • Nutrition standards and menu design
  • Beneficiary tracking systems

Expected outcomes

  • Improved attendance and learning outcomes
  • Reliable income for local producers
  • Lower cost per meal over time

Sector 02

Agriculture & Food Security

The challenge

Smallholders produce a large share of Africa's food but remain locked out of formal markets by aggregation, quality, finance and offtake constraints.

Our approach

We build value chains backwards from a committed buyer — securing offtake first, then organising aggregation, inputs, finance and quality systems around it.

Agriculture & Food Security

Key activities

  • Value chain and market analysis
  • Farmer aggregation and cooperative support
  • Offtake and contract farming structures
  • Input and working capital facilities
  • Post-harvest and storage investment

Expected outcomes

  • Higher and more predictable farm incomes
  • Reduced post-harvest losses
  • Stronger national food security

Sector 03

Tourism Development

The challenge

Tourism assets with real potential often lack the preparation, governance and community arrangements that investors require before committing capital.

Our approach

We prepare tourism assets and destinations for investment, structuring concessions that give communities an equity stake and government a durable revenue base.

Tourism Development

Key activities

  • Destination and asset assessment
  • Concession and lease structuring
  • Community benefit and equity models
  • Investor packaging and roadshows
  • Skills and enterprise development

Expected outcomes

  • New private investment into destinations
  • Local employment and enterprise growth
  • Conservation financed by visitor revenue

Sector 04

Infrastructure & Community Development

The challenge

Community-scale infrastructure is too small for major project finance and too important to leave to annual budget cycles.

Our approach

We bundle community infrastructure into investable programmes with pooled procurement, standard designs and shared maintenance arrangements.

Infrastructure & Community Development

Key activities

  • Needs prioritisation with local government
  • Bundled project preparation
  • Procurement and contractor management
  • Maintenance and O&M structuring
  • Local contractor development

Expected outcomes

  • Faster delivery at lower unit cost
  • Assets that stay maintained
  • Local construction capability retained
