AfricaDev YC applies a structured nine-step methodology, from the initial diagnostic through to the capitalisation of lessons learned, to ensure the coherence and quality of every engagement.
Not every assignment draws on the full sequence: our engagement adapts to the scope and stage of each project.
Analysis of the institutional, economic and sectoral environment to precisely identify the needs and constraints of the project or organisation.
Mapping of project, investment or reform opportunities, aligned with national and regional priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Economic, financial, institutional and risk evaluation, to prioritise the most relevant and most bankable initiatives.
Development of technical files, business cases, logical frameworks and theories of change needed to mobilise partners.
Identification of relevant funders, investors and technical partners, and support in structuring the financing arrangement.
Support in preparing bidding documents, evaluating proposals and selecting service providers and consultants.
Operational coordination, risk and contract management, technical and financial reporting throughout execution.
Design of monitoring systems based on results-based management, and conduct of mid-term or final evaluations.
Consolidation of lessons learned from each assignment to continuously improve the quality of our future engagements.
AfricaDev YC is progressively building its experience in international technical assistance, in support of projects, institutions and partners engaged in development across Africa. Our experience in this field is still being built, assignment after assignment.
Where specialised expertise is required beyond our direct capabilities, we mobilise and coordinate it through a network of qualified consultants and partners, rather than claiming to hold it in-house.
We communicate only verifiable information: no figures, client references or project amounts are put forward without demonstrated basis.
Every assignment begins with a conversation to understand your needs and identify which steps of our method are most relevant to you.
