Services
Seven practices, one continuous engagement
GICP delivers integrated consulting services across multiple sectors and technical disciplines — supporting partners across the full project lifecycle, from the first strategic conversation to the institutional capability that remains when the program closes. Engage a single practice, or commission us to carry the whole journey.

What we do
Each practice stands on its own and strengthens the others. Most engagements draw on more than one.
Practice 01
Research, Policy & Advisory Services
Building the evidence base decisions deserve.
Rigorous, applied research is the foundation of everything we deliver. We design and execute studies that answer the question actually being asked — mixing qualitative depth with quantitative discipline, and communicating findings in forms decision-makers can use.
- Baseline, midline and endline studies
- Feasibility studies
- Needs assessments
- Market research
- Socio-economic studies
- Institutional assessments
- Policy analysis
- Public policy development
Practice 02
Monitoring, Evaluation, Research & Learning
Honest measurement that improves programs, not just reports on them.
We build M&E frameworks that produce evidence clients can act on — and we run evaluations with the integrity to say what worked and what did not. Our learning loops turn findings into adjustments while programs still have time to benefit.
- Results framework development
- Monitoring systems
- Third-party monitoring
- Performance evaluations
- Impact evaluations
- Value-for-money analysis
- Learning agenda development
Practice 03
Project Cycle Management
Carrying programs from identification to close-out.
Strategy without delivery is a document. Our practitioners embed with client teams across the full project cycle — from identification and design through implementation support and close-out — solving daily delivery problems and transferring method as we work.
- Project identification
- Project design
- Proposal development
- Implementation support
- Risk management
- Quality assurance
- Project close-out
- Sustainability planning
Practice 04
Institutional Development
Building capability that remains when the program ends.
Sustainable impact outlives any single engagement. We strengthen the institutions behind the programs — their systems, skills, and structures — through practical, demand-driven support designed with the people who will carry the work forward.
- Strategic planning
- Organizational development
- Governance strengthening
- Business process improvement
- Change management
- Capacity needs assessment
- Training & coaching
Practice 05
Financial Management & Compliance
Financial discipline that stands up to any audit.
Sound financial management is the backbone of donor confidence. We help partners build the controls, systems, and documentation that keep programs compliant and credible — from grant administration to audit readiness.
- Grant management
- Internal controls
- Financial due diligence
- Procurement advisory
- Compliance reviews
- Audit preparation support
Practice 06
Digital Transformation
Turning data and technology into working tools.
Digital capability multiplies every other investment. We design and deploy the data collection tools, dashboards, and knowledge systems that let partners see their own performance clearly and act on it in real time.
- Digital data collection
- Dashboard development
- GIS mapping
- Data analytics
- Knowledge management systems
- Digital learning solutions
Practice 07
Climate, Environment & Infrastructure
Resilience engineered for the Horn of Africa.
Climate pressure is a daily reality across our region. We bring climate adaptation, environmental assessment, and infrastructure planning together so that programs endure the conditions they are built for.
- Climate change adaptation
- Environmental assessments
- WASH programs
- Renewable energy
- Infrastructure planning
- Resilience programming
