What we do

Six practices, one purpose: stronger organisations.

Each engagement draws on the disciplines it needs, so a research assignment can lead to training, and a systems review to a digital roll-out.

Sectors

Experience across government, education and development.

Why SCF

Consulting that takes the long view.

    More than 20 local and international consultants, each experienced in their professional field and in global practice.

  3. 03

    Grounded in training and research

    Our advice is informed by the research we conduct and the capacity-building programmes we deliver for public institutions every year.

  4. 04

    Systems for accountability

    We use modern technological platforms and systems to strengthen management, accountability and transparency.

Our process

How an engagement works.

Every assignment moves through three clear phases, so clients know what is happening and what they will receive.

  1. 01

    Listen and gather

    Gathering information, discussions, reviews, brainstorming and meetings with the client.

  2. 02

    Analyse and deliver

    Analysing, designing, formulating, processing, decision-making, practising, training, implementing and publishing.

  3. 03
