Five core commitments guide our client service delivery.

Commitment

We see it through completely

We put communities at the center, ensuring our work reflects local realities and strengthens local ownership.

Accountability

We own the results

At KCI, we hold ourselves and our partners to high standards, using evidence and learning to stay transparent and results focused.

Respect

We listen first always

We honor the dignity, knowledge and perspectives of every stakeholder, creating space for diverse voices to shape better decisions.

Empowerment

We build lasting capability

Our work ends when your team leads forward.

Sustainability

We think for the long term

Lasting change is achieved through deliberate, sustainable construction.

What we do

We offer four core services designed to address the most pressing challenges organizations face. 



Each draws on deep sector experience and proven methodologies refined across years of complex engagements.

Strategy and M&E design

We help organizations clarify direction, identify competitive advantage, and build business models that endure.

Organizational
development

We strengthen leadership capability, redesign structures, and build cultures that execute strategy effectively.

Implementation
and change

We move beyond plans to deliver real results, managing the complexity of organizational change with discipline and care.

Technology and operations

We integrate systems and processes that drive efficiency, insight, and competitive capability.

How we work

We start with diagnosis, then build solutions together with you.

Diagnostic first, 
solutions second

We start with deep listening and systematic diagnosis to understand how systems truly work, so our recommendations are rigorous, context-appropriate and implementable.

Capacity building 
embedded throughout

We measure our work by what remains after we leave, building in knowledge transfer and capacity so clients become more capable, confident and ready for future challenges.

Focus on implementation

We ground rigorous analysis in operational reality, testing every recommendation against capacity, budgets and politics so solutions are feasible and lead to real progress.

Co-design with our clients

Partnership defines our approach. We co-design with client teams throughout engagements, building ownership and ensuring recommendations balance technical rigor with operational reality.

Evidence-based and 
learning oriented

vidence and learning anchor our work. We use rigorous data analysis and comparative lessons, embedding learning mechanisms into every engagement to enable adaptation as circumstances evolve. This transforms individual interventions into catalysts for sustained institutional improvement.

Who we serve

Reform-minded leaders across Africa who want real results.

Governments and public institutions

We support public institutions, NGOs, utilities, and development partners to design, implement, and evaluate complex programs. 


From diagnostics and to midterm reviews and completion reports, we bring structure and clarity to your decision-making.

Multilateral and bilateral partners

We partner with multilateral and bilateral institutions that finance and shape development programs, providing the evidence, analysis and learning they need to design, supervise and scale impactful operations.

Consulting and research partners

We collaborate with consulting and research partners who seek complementary expertise, local insight and rigorous methods to strengthen joint proposals, studies and evaluations.

Regulators and sector 
agencies

We work with regulators and sector agencies that need evidence, clear rules and practical tools to oversee markets, improve service delivery and drive sector reform.

KCI supports regional organizations and initiatives that coordinate cross-border programs, helping them align countries around shared evidence, policies and investments.

NGOs and community organizations

KCI works with NGOs and community organizations that are close to the ground, helping them use evidence and learning to strengthen programs, amplify local voices and influence policy.
