3 of the 10 services on this page
- Due-diligence researchBefore you sign with a partner, supplier or grantee in Ghana or West Africa, we investigate the counterparty within agreed registers and sources. You receive the findings, the questions that remain open, and the full source trail.→
- Programme evaluationWe review your evaluation brief and evidence base, propose a method that fits the questions and the budget, and cost any fieldwork separately and transparently. Evaluations follow recognised criteria such as relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability.→
- Third-party monitoring (TPM) in Ghana / West AfricaVerify one accessible Ghana site against agreed evidence requirements; cost travel and independence explicitly.→
- Proposal and bid-writing trainingWe teach a team to read a real call for proposals or tender, build its compliance matrix and write a response outline, using the documents they are actually bidding for.→
- E-learning development and course productionWe produce complete learning modules under your brand: learning design, content, assessments, facilitator materials and tested LMS packaging where contracted.→
- Tender, RFP and bid writingWe start by reviewing one live tender’s compliance requirements, and price the full response only after the evidence and scope checks, so you never pay for a bid you cannot win on eligibility.→
- Grant proposal writing for donorsWe review one donor call and your project concept, then produce the narrative, logframe and budget workstream the call requires, built on evidence you can stand behind.→

Free tool
Evidence register and due-diligence checklist
List the claims a decision depends on, where each one comes from and how confident you are. The register shows which conclusions rest on unsourced or self-reported evidence, and what to request next.

Free tool
Learning outcomes and assessment mapper
List each learning outcome, the level of thinking it asks for and the task that assesses it. The mapper flags outcomes with no task, tasks that test at a lower level than the outcome, weights that do not add up and verbs you cannot observe.
Open the tool -
Free tool
MEL indicator builder
Define each indicator properly: level, unit, numerator and denominator, baseline, target, source, frequency and disaggregation. The checker rejects percentages without a numerator and denominator and turns complete indicators into reference sheets.

Free tool
Bid/no-bid decision matrix
Test an opportunity against the eligibility rules that cannot be negotiated, then score it on eight weighted criteria. A hard eligibility failure overrides any score, and the weakest criteria tell you what evidence to find before you commit.
Open the tool -
Free tool
RFP compliance matrix template
Paste the tender text you are permitted to use. The builder finds every “shall”, “must” and “should” requirement, keeps its clause reference and position in the text, and lays out a compliance matrix with owner and evidence columns.

Free tool
Theory of change template
Set out the goal, the outcomes you expect and the outputs and activities that lead to them, with indicators and assumptions. The builder checks the logic: outcomes that read like activities, outputs linked to nothing and outcomes nothing produces.
