What we do

SII Africa helps people in organisations, sectors, and systems navigate complex change processes

We believe that what you do and how you do it are equally important and that quality processes and relationships are critical to driving change.

STRATEGY DESIGN

Define the impact you want to achieve
We help clients define achievable impact goals and map how change happens in complex, uncertain environments.

MONITORING SYSTEMS

Track your actions
We build user-friendly databases and dashboards to help clients, their partners and implementing agencies track their activities and learn, adapt, make decisions and communicate progress toward social impact.

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS

Generate and make sense of the data you need
We run high-quality nationally representative surveys, standardised learner assessments, and in-depth case studies and analyse and visualise data with rigour and curiosity.

EVALUATION

Measure your impact
We run developmental, implementation, and independent impact evaluations and ensure that the evaluation design aligns with your goals.

SYSTEMS TRACKING

Track systems change
We build barometers and conduct implementation research that make complex systems visible and enable change to be embedded and sustained at scale.
