What We Do
We deliver comprehensive development solutions through three integrated service arms, combining consulting excellence, digital innovation, and professional capacity building to drive sustainable impact across Africa and beyond.
Our Structure and Subsidiaries
A comprehensive ecosystem designed to address the full spectrum of development challenges, from strategic planning to implementation and capacity building
Kerus Academy
Kerus Academy builds the skills that make reform and service delivery work. We offer M&E professional training, project management training, data analysis, and customized institutional training for government agencies, utilities, and development partners. Our programs are practical and applied, so participants leave equipped to design, manage, and evaluate their work more effectively.
KCI Consulting Services
KCI Consulting Services is our core advisory practice, supporting clients across the project and policy cycle with monitoring and evaluation, project design, strategic advisory, independent reviews, and institutional frameworks. We combine rigorous analysis with deep local context understanding, delivering recommendations that are technically sound, realistic, and aligned with long-term goals.
Kerus Solutions
Kerus Solutions turns data into strategic assets through digital systems. We develop M&E dashboards, data analytics and visualization tools, and knowledge management systems. We make information clear, accessible, and reliable, helping institutions track performance, anticipate risks, and manage portfolios with greater confidence and accountability.
Sectors of Expertise
KCI operates across strategic sectors that define Africa’s path toward inclusive, resilient, and sustainable growth. Our work integrates consulting excellence, digital innovation, and capacity development, ensuring that every engagement delivers measurable, lasting impact.
Consulting Services
We work across sectors where strategic thinking matters, from governments and utilities expanding energy access to NGOs and regional bodies. We focus on what matters, cut through complexity, and co-create solutions that work in practice.
Data Analytics and Digital Solutions
We leverage technology and analytics to turn data into actionable insights. We design digital systems, dashboards, and tools that enhance transparency, simplify reporting, and enable real-time performance tracking. Our user-centered approach ensures solutions fit existing capacities, integrate with current systems, and support better governance and decision-making.
Energy and Infrastructure
We support initiatives that expand electricity access, modernize utilities, and strengthen infrastructure resilience. Our expertise spans sector diagnostics, policy design, project structuring, and implementation support, ensuring investments are sustainable, inclusive, and responsive to community and institutional needs.
Environment and Climate Security
We integrate climate resilience and environmental sustainability into project and policy design. We help institutions assess risks, design responses that protect livelihoods and ecosystems, strengthen environmental governance, and align with global climate commitments through practical, achievable strategies.
Governance and Institutional Strengthening
We help governments, regional bodies, and organizations build governance systems that deliver efficient, transparent, and scalable results. We clarify mandates, improve coordination, and develop policies and performance frameworks that embed accountability into operations, moving from written rules to functioning institutions that plan, decide, and implement with credibility.
Human Capital and Capacity Development
Through Kerus Academy, we deliver professional learning programs that strengthen the skills and confidence of government officials, project managers, and development practitioners. Our training is practical, field-tested, and tailored to institutional needs, ensuring reforms, systems, and projects continue to perform beyond individual assignment.
How We Work
KCI’s work is grounded in careful diagnosis, close collaboration with clients, and a clear focus on implementation. We combine evidence, contextual insight, and continuous learning to design solutions that institutions can own, apply, and sustain over time.
Diagnostic First, Solutions Second
We start with deep listening and systematic diagnosis, examining institutional realities, capacity, and dynamics that shape what can be achieved. We understand how systems function in practice, beyond formal mandates, enabling recommendations that are technically rigorous, contextually appropriate, and implementable.
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.
Capacity Building Embedded throughout
We assess our contribution by what remains after we leave. Knowledge transfer and capacity building are built into every engagement, so institutions grow alongside project results. Our aim is for clients to finish each assignment more capable, more confident, and better equipped to navigate future challenges.
Focus on Implementation
Rigorous analysis must meet operational reality. We test every recommendation against capacity, budgets, and political dynamics, designing solutions that can be implemented within existing constraints. This focus on feasibility transforms strategies from documents into demonstrable progress.
Evidence Based and Learning Oriented
Evidence 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
KCI works with institutions that shape policies, manage public resources, and deliver essential services. We support leaders who are responsible for turning strategies into visible, lasting results for people and communities.
Governments and Public Institutions
We support national and subnational governments leading policy, planning, and public investment across sectors. Our clients include ministries of energy, finance, planning, environment, and other institutions working to strengthen governance, enhance program delivery, and manage public resources more effectively.
Utilities, Regulators, and Sector Agencies
We partner with utilities, regulators, rural electrification agencies, and sector institutions carrying service delivery mandates. KCI helps these organizations enhance performance, clarify institutional roles and accountability, and deliver reliable, affordable energy to the households, businesses, and public institutions that depend on them.
Multilateral and Bilateral Development Partners
KCI serves as a bridge between development finance institutions and the governments they support. We work with the multilateral and bilateral partners that finance large-scale operations, providing analytical work, independent evaluations, and implementation support that meet international standards of rigor while remaining attuned to the capacity constraints and political economy realities that shape what implementing agencies can actually achieve.
Regional Organizations and Initiatives
We work with regional economic communities and specialized programs coordinating multi-country initiatives in energy, climate, and infrastructure. KCI strengthens regional governance structures, promotes policy coherence across participating countries, and supports the effective implementation of joint regional programs.
Consulting and Research Partners
We work alongside a wide range of consulting and research partners, including policy institutes, independent experts, and specialized firms in energy, infrastructure, and social sectors. By combining KCI’s evaluation and advisory expertise with their technical depth and local knowledge, we co-create stronger diagnostics, more credible evidence, and practical solutions that clients can trust and implement with confidence.
