Programme management capacity, without the hiring round.

A team you can bring in to run a programme or a portfolio. We set up the structures, run the reporting, and hand it back once your own team is ready to hold it.

Solutions/Programme Management Support

Why organisations bring in a PMU

Funded, but not staffed

The programme has to start before a hiring round can finish.

The portfolio outgrew the team

More partners and projects than anyone can hold at once.

Every partner reports differently

Each one sends a different format, so there is no single view of the portfolio.

Governance you have not run before

A funder expects review rhythms and board packs the organisation has never produced.

What we do

PMU setup

Structures, tools, and reporting cadences from day one, with a clear line on what we own and what stays with you.

Embedded PM support

Experienced programme managers who plug into your team.

Reporting & governance

The reporting rhythms funders and boards expect.

Capacity handover

We leave behind a unit your own team can run, and train the people who will hold it.

Who embeds

The people who come in, and what they bring with them.

Programme managers, not coordinators

People who have run multi-partner portfolios and can hold a funder conversation.

The team that builds the systems

The PMU sits next to the engineers who build your MIS, so the reporting and the system agree.

Monitoring and evaluation built in

A shared M&E framework across partners, plus the training to make partners use it.

100 ICT4D professionals behind them

Specialists pulled in as the programme needs them, rather than hired into it.

Common questions

Is this staff we manage, or staff you manage?

We manage them. The unit is accountable to your programme leadership on delivery, but the hiring, cover and performance sit with us.

How quickly can a unit start?

Faster than hiring. The specialists come from a team that already works in the sector, so there is no recruitment cycle to run first.

What happens when the programme ends?

The unit winds down with it. That is the point of embedded capacity rather than permanent headcount on a time-bound grant.
