CASA NEXUS / Capabilities / Consulting
Good intentions do not deliver projects. Systems do. We build and run the systems yours needs, from the design to safe delivery to the evidence that proves it worked.
The fourth is what makes a change hold, and it is the one everybody skips.
Pick a move to see what happens there.
A capacity assessment across governance, finance, HR, programmes, and operations. You get scores and a ranked gap list, not opinions.
Policies, systems, frameworks, and budgets shaped around how your organisation really runs, written with the people who will have to use them.
Embedded support through a live cycle: reporting, procurement, field delivery, and the safety systems that keep the team working.
A coaching phase, an endline assessment, and a certification decision. This is the phase that turns a workshop into a change that holds.
Open any line to see what is inside it.
A project designed well is half delivered.
We turn an idea, or a freshly funded award, into a project that can actually run and report.
Funders back organisations they trust.
We build the systems that earn that trust, then keep it.
Winning the grant is the easy part.
Keeping it, and the relationship behind it, is where organisations stumble.
You cannot report what you did not measure.
We build measurement systems your team can run, and donors credit.
Reach the people who need you, without putting anyone at risk.
The hardest places to work are where the need is greatest. Most delivery partners either avoid them or enter them unsafely. We help you do neither, and keep operating when conditions change.
Every line can be delivered as embedded support shaped around your project, or bought as one of these.
Narrow it to what you need.
Donor-ready in 90 days.
For Local NGOs and CBOs; donors funding partner capacity.
An organisation cannot win or manage serious funding because its systems, policies, and governance are not yet where donors need them.
The full embedded accelerator across all four moves: a baseline across the seven capacity domains, co-built policies and systems, and an endline with a Bronze, Silver, or Gold certification decision.
Know where you stand in two weeks.
For Donors screening partners; INGOs assessing sub-grantees.
Someone needs a clear, credible picture of institutional strengths and gaps, fast, before a decision or an investment.
A focused two-week assessment across the seven domains, with baseline scores, a prioritised gap analysis, and a roadmap you can act on.
A working measurement system in a month.
For NGOs facing donor reporting; new grants standing up.
An organisation collects data but cannot turn it into the results reporting donors demand, or has no system at all.
A month-long embedded build: a results framework and indicators, collection tools, a workable data flow, and staff trained to run it after we leave.
A board that functions, and can prove it.
For Boards preparing for due diligence; donors requiring strengthening.
Weak governance blocks funding and exposes the organisation to risk, but leadership cannot see clearly what is missing.
A structured review of board composition, function, and decision-making against donor standards, a prioritised action plan, drafted core documents, and a board orientation session.
Stop losing grants to compliance failures.
For Grant-managing NGOs; INGOs strengthening sub-grantees.
Local organisations win funding then struggle with the compliance, financial management, and reporting that keep it.
Structured training with embedded support, built around real donor requirements, with practical templates and optional follow-up through a live reporting cycle.
An evaluation expert on call.
For Mid-sized NGOs; programmes without senior in-house MEAL.
An organisation needs ongoing measurement and learning support but cannot justify a full-time senior MEAL hire.
A monthly retainer: a set block of advisory time, report and data-quality review before donor submissions, and steady capability building in your own team.
Specialist depth where it matters most.
For GBV and protection programmes; UN implementing partners.
Organisations in GBV and protection need design, SOP, and referral-pathway expertise generalist consultants cannot credibly provide.
Specialist programme design drawn from humanitarian practice: SOPs grounded in field reality, referral-pathway mapping, safeguarding design, and review of existing programming.
Lift a whole portfolio of partners at once.
For Donors and INGOs funding partner-capacity programmes.
A funder wants to lift the capacity of many grantees together, consistently, with measurable results across the cohort.
The full accelerator delivered to a cohort under one contract: shared training, embedded per-organisation support, baseline and endline scoring, certification, and portfolio-level reporting for the board.
A capacity mark donors can trust.
For Donor ecosystems and networks wanting a shared standard.
Donors lack a consistent, credible signal of which local organisations are genuinely ready to manage funding.
Bronze, Silver, and Gold certification offered as a recognised standard, backed by the seven-domain assessment and the embedded strengthening that earns it.
Nothing in that category yet. Try another, or tell us what you need.
