Advisory 06

Strategic Advisory & Business Development

Proposals, strategy and partnerships that help organisations win work and sustain it.

The problem

Winning the next piece of work and sustaining the current one are the same problem viewed from two ends. Both need a clear proposition, a credible plan and partners who will still be there in three years.

Nyuzi supports organisations through the decisions that determine what they do next — what to bid for, what to build, who to build it with, and how it continues.

Related capabilities

Often engaged alongside.

Advisory work rarely sits on its own. These are the disciplines that most often accompany it.

Project Management & Programme Support

Full lifecycle support from design to close-out, with the planning, reporting and compliance discipline donors expect.

02

Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL)

Evidence systems that show what a programme is achieving and what should change.

03

Institutional Strengthening

Assessments, systems and governance frameworks that make organisations more capable and more accountable.

04

Training & Capacity Development

Curriculum, facilitation and work-based learning that build capability people actually use.
