Flagship case studies

Six programmes, in depth

A closer look at the challenge, our role, our approach, the outcome and the capabilities deployed on six representative engagements.

Ekiti State Government · State-wide M&E Framework

Client: Ekiti State Government

Challenge: The state needed a consistent way to track delivery across ministries, departments and agencies, and a PMO capable of holding programmes accountable to results rather than activity.

Our role: Lead adviser for the design of a state-wide monitoring and evaluation framework and an accompanying programme management office.

Approach: Stakeholder mapping across MDAs, a results framework aligned to the state's development plan, indicator and data-flow design, and hands-on support to mobilise the PMO.

Outcome: A functioning state-wide M&E framework and PMO structure that gives the government a single, consistent view of programme delivery.

Capabilities deployed: Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning · Programme Delivery & PMO

Bank of Industry · Healthcare Facility Monitoring

Client: Bank of Industry

Challenge: A private multi-specialist hospital had drawn down a ₦3.5 billion facility, and the Bank needed independent confirmation that the financing was being deployed as intended.

Our role: Monitoring and evaluation of the facility extended to the hospital.

Approach: Site verification, financial and physical progress tracking, and structured reporting back to the Bank against agreed monitoring indicators.

Outcome: A monitoring record covering the full ₦3.5 billion facility that the Bank can rely on for portfolio oversight.

Capabilities deployed: Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning · Investment & PPP Advisory

Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme · Beneficiary Monitoring & Evaluation

Client: Federal Government of Nigeria

Challenge: The Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme needed independent, credible monitoring and evaluation of beneficiaries across multiple states.

Our role: Monitoring and evaluation adviser for the scheme's beneficiary reach.

Approach: Beneficiary verification and data collection across the states covered by the scheme, tracked against the programme's results framework.

Outcome: Verified M&E coverage of 7,916 beneficiaries across 5 states.

Capabilities deployed: Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning · Programme Delivery & PMO

Deloitte / Afreximbank · Hospital Environmental & Social Advisory

Client: Deloitte, on behalf of Afreximbank

Challenge: A major hospital development required an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) meeting international lender standards ahead of financing approval.

Our role: Environmental and social advisory, working alongside Deloitte as technical partner to Afreximbank.

Approach: Full ESIA including stakeholder engagement, environmental and social risk assessment and mitigation planning, aligned to IFC Performance Standards.

Outcome: An ESIA that met lender due-diligence requirements, supporting the project's progression toward financing.

Capabilities deployed: Sustainability & ESG · Infrastructure Advisory

Lagos State · LASOSH Occupational Safety & Health

Client: Lagos State Occupational Safety & Health (LASOSH)

Challenge: Lagos State needed a technical partner to help shape and deliver its occupational safety and health conference and broader OSH strategy.

Our role: Advisory and technical partner for the LASOSH conference and occupational safety and health strategy.

Approach: Programme design and content curation for the conference, alongside technical input into the state's OSH strategy.

Outcome: A delivered conference and technical contributions feeding into Lagos State's occupational safety and health agenda.

Capabilities deployed: Strategy & Transformation · Institutional Strengthening & Capacity Building

Sustainability Table Series · A Decade of Convening

Client: Avant-Garde flagship event

Challenge: Sustainable development conversations in Nigeria needed a consistent, senior-level forum bringing regulators, financiers, corporate leaders and civil society together - not a one-off conference.

Our role: Founder, convenor and secretariat for the Sustainability Table Series (STS) since 2016.

Approach: An annual executive dialogue built around a live sustainability theme, producing a monograph each year that distils the discussion into a practical reference.

Outcome: Ten years of continuous convening, nine published monographs, and STS 2026 - the 10th edition - themed "Leading the Sustainable Development Agenda: People, Planet and Prosperity".
